If this one is anywhere near as good as Wendy and Lucy, I'll be happy.jswarner319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-67331239030403440142012-02-25T14:24:26.873-08:002012-02-25T14:24:26.873-08:00I don't think you'd find it a tough watch,...I don't think you'd find it a tough watch, Jack.

In the trailer the acting really came through for me, but if it doesn't have more depth to it than you make it seem, it's probably not worth it for me. I also hate the "what did they just say" feeling. I mean, that doesn't make me incline towards seeing it either.d_4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-78352499552413973222012-02-25T12:25:27.075-08:002012-02-25T12:25:27.075-08:00I'm really glad you got the chance to see it. ...I'm really glad you got the chance to see it. I'm disappointed to hear that you didn't enjoy it as much as you expected, but you make some great points. That final shot is still lingering with me, and I really liked some of the striking photography and the really subtle power shift between the characters. It was a pleasant surprise, which is always nice when seeing a film at the cinema. Too often we are influenced by trailers, promotional material and reviews. I went in knowing virtually nothing. It contributed to my immense enjoyment for the film, and the intriguing nature of the events.

I think I'd give it a 6 myself due to story. The subjective viewpoint in Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy somehow worked better for me, than the collective struggle. The scenes in the dark I didn't quite see the point of, to show how it sometimes was in those days?
