4.0 out of 5 stars A Promise Forever Unfulfilled, June 2, 2007

By

This review is from: I'll Take You There (DVD)

In the 1930s a film like this would have been described as a "Screwball Comedy" -- stick-in-the mud guy who is feeling sorry for himself after his wife leaves him with his best friend meets a whacko woman who changes his life forever. In other words, a truly enjoyable film, perfect for viewing on a Friday evening.

What makes this film special are (1) a great performance by Ally Sheedy as the whacko girlfriend, and (2) the fact that the fim was directed by Adrienne Shelly, a highly promising young actress and director who had appeared in several of independent film director Hal Hartley's films. Her performance in "Trust" should not be missed by anyone who enjoys over-the-top black humor.

Unfortunately, her artistic promise will never be fully realized. On November 1, 2006 Diego Pillco, a 19-year-old, allegedly confessed to killing Shelly after she complained about the noise he was making in the apartment below hers. She left a grieving husband and 2-year-old daughter.

She will be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real charmer! :), April 20, 2008

This review is from: I'll Take You There (DVD)

I rented this movie after seeing WAITRESS, Adrienne Shelley's last film. I think I like I'LL TAKE YOU THERE even better than WAITRESS! Both are terrific! I am ordering I'LL TAKE YOU THERE right now, so that I can have my own copy. It is a quirky, creative, charming, fun, movie with an interesting mix of songs (but no soundtrack available apparently.) Adrienne Shelley co wrote the main song for this movie, as she also did for WAITRESS. This is a movie that will take you off guard! Lots of fun!
