To Walk Invisible (2016)
more sisters, less brother
i absolutely loved this. their story itself is amazing, and the acting was stellar. their earnestness and forbearance, in the face of such limited choices for women at that time, is remarkable and moving. the only criticism i have is the prominent role of their brother branwell, in this telling of their story. while i know how much their lives were affected by his overwhelming personal problems, it was focused on way too heavily here, it distracted from the story about THE BRONTE SISTERS. i wanted more of their life story and wish this had been a mini-series-at least maybe a 2 part movie. then maybe it would have been okay to feature so much of his story. but in this short format, it sometimes seemed like the girls story was almost an aside. even with that, i still loved this movie.
Our Town (1940)
just doesn't work
i'm a big movie fan and until today, i had no idea that this film version of the stage play even existed. i did not enjoy this at all. i'm surprised this movie was made during this time period because of the manner and style of the play. this is not a play that could be be easily translated to film and this version proves it. the rhythm of the film is uneven as is the tone of the film. the "dream sequence" is confusing and not true to the play. but maybe the audience of that time would have found the death of a main character too depressing, but it's an important part of the play and in the movie, that whole sequence is just bad and hokey. it's actually hard to describe exactly what's wrong with this movie, it's just not good. it took me a minute to recognize william holden! i think that's the youngest i've seen him in a movie. i'm glad his acting improved so much. most of the acting was just fine, but a lot of the emotions and dialog seemed staged and forced. again, i think the problem lies with trying to turn this type of a play, into a film. it just doesn't work.
