A pleasant surprise
18 November 2007
A very deft and competent work given the experience and budget of the production team. The script didn't seem all that easy to work with, but a fine group of actors seemed to find it's pitch and pace. Coupled with a sweet little soundtrack, it triggered a few Hal Hartley flashbacks. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The photography really was extraordinary. A very complete palette was found in some fairly mundane locations creating an effect that was at times both rich and bleak simultaneously, somewhat like a Russell Banks short story. Not that there's anything wrong with that either. Frankly there's not much wrong with this film at all and it should stand up well when viewed a few times.
