5.0 out of 5 stars shh, the movie's started, November 23, 2009

By	Bob Humbug - See all my reviews

I am very upset about the voice-over narration at the beginning and end of this film. It's otherwise nearly perfect--a movie for movie lovers--it has everything. If there's a class of movies that includes films such as Cinema Paradiso, this one should be included. And that's what upsets me so much about the voice over. Whoever thought it was a good idea should be sentenced to watch nothing but CSPAN for a month. And not the really entertaining CSPAN1, but one of its subsidiaries.

I just can't believe that a film so attuned to film (a movie theater plays a large role in this film, for example) doesn't seem to take its own advice. I don't want you watching the movie with me and getting all chatty. Stay in the film.

Ruining this film would take quite some doing, though, and luckily that's only thing it attempts and fails at.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent (and overlooked) film., September 11, 2009

By	Sodesune (USA) - See all my reviews

I wasn't sure what to expect when I rented this, having never heard of it. But it was a chance I'm glad I took - the acting is extremely strong and it's directed with care. It's a slow film, with some interesting plot twists and a generally dark mood...which is fitting, given the storyline. It could have fallen in the trap of just being another "oh I hate my town and I'm bored" flick, but it emerges as much more than that. Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting characters, uninteresting story., May 7, 2009

By	Robin King (Fort Dodge, Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If your looking for a good story, action or suspense skip this movie. But if you like to see quirky characters played by exellent actors well maybe. Everything about this movie was good,except the story. Being a fan of more suspense or action or even stronger characters I would watch something else.
