Trite and fake
7 September 2005
Pretty Persuasions is another one of those fake slice of life movies. It tries desperately to be perceived as "real" by the critics and the intelligentsia and thus fails completely to convey any real emotion or situation.

The dialogue is absurdly bad and forced and the film is just one more hyped, tired attempt by a bad music video director at gaining the applause of his friends and the Sundance committee.

Did that movie make it to Sundance? I wouldn't be surprised as it has all the characteristics of the really bad films that go there for their fair share of empty hype.

As for Evan Rachel Wood, she should stay away from these types of films in the future. Her acting is becoming worse and worse as she tries to bring life to bad clichés.
