9/10
A simply beautiful, simple film.
27 December 2000
I had the pleasure of seeing Spring Forward at the Melbourne Film Festival (one of the three oldest in the world) and found it a welcome change of pace from Hollywood fare. Despite taking us on a journey through the four seasons (from Spring forward) in under two hours, it never hurries, choosing instead to meander through the simple lives of two simple men to show us just how complicated the most simple of lives can be. Ned Beatty is as fabulous as his best performances in Homicide while Leiv Schrieber delivers a performance of subtle depth.
