I should be able to bang out this review since I just finished watching it, but it’s proving a bit difficult.
Walking out of the theater, so many others in the audience were talking about Tony Soprano. Not James Gandolfini. Tony Soprano. I was thinking about him too. I’m so glad James Gandolfini is taking roles that aren’t like Tony Soprano, and actually doing very well in those roles. I wonder if or when anyone will stop thinking of him as Tony.
The film itself was fine. It’s not a movie I need to ever see again. It really didn’t do anything for me, and now I’m wondering why everyone on buses and in lines was telling me it was so good. I don’t really know what the film was trying to say or accomplish… the more I think about it, the more lame it gets. Like “Abel”, it was well made, well acted. It just didn’t mean anything, or make me think about anything new, or even make me feel something.
4.
37% chance of making it into a theater near you, only that high because worse movies than this have had a life outside of Sundance.
