5.0 out of 5 stars Don't pass over this under-rated film..., June 14, 2006

Anyone who has ever lived through a life altering event that left a scar of mental disorder will see the beauty in this film. Film critique's are correct in their assessment of directer/writer Rebecca Cook's talent and promise, however they fail to read between the lines of character John Livien and feel the depth of what this movie offers to all of us as human beings. Dark, gloomy, and exhaustingly dismal...this movie touches upon the John Livien in all of us, and the inner demons that we can either choose to live under...or learn from and move on.

Shooting Livien gets two thumbs up from me...and I give the yahoo's who don't appreciate this film two thumbs down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shooting Livien, May 29, 2009

I found this movie highly enjoyable. Fairly well filmed for an idependent movie. Jason Behr played the role of rising rock-star with a troubled past and slowly falling into insanity quite well. Though what made this movie for me was Dominic Monaghan's performance. His role as Owen made this movie extremely entertaining and I fell like I wouldn't have enjoyed this movie as much without him in it. He is a very talented actor.

Although if you are wishing to view this movie for the Beatles aspect, than this would be a let down. Although the Beatles were mentioned throughout the movie quite often and the relationship of Yoko and Lennon was slightly mimiced; it had almost nothing to do with the Beatles. But, the music in this movie was amazing and I found myself wishing I could put it on my Ipod.

I just got "Shooting Livian" in the mail, & it was every bit as good, if not better than, I expected. While everyone did a truly professional job, I have to credit Dominic Monaghan for the most colorful, believable performance. He seemed easy and natural. The actors playing the three band members suited their roles perfectly. Loved the Lennon accents. It was little touches like that, the glasses,and the "Peace Bed", that helped make the show for me. The father was sympathetic, I liked the girlfriend, etc. Lovely soundtrack.
The only fly in the ointment was Ally Sheedy, which surprised me as she is such an experienced actress. I just felt she was "phoning in" her performance. I think she could have made more of an effort.
Regardless, good ending. Hopeful, realistic, satisfying, without being saccharine.
Over all, I greatly enjoyed it, give it a thumbs up, & am glad to own it on DVD : )
