Console best movie i've ever seen.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

cricketbat Don't watch Get Low when you're tired. It's a very slow-moving film, even though it's well-done. Robert Duvall does a great job playing the part of a mysterious hermit, and the supporting cast is also strong - it's just that the story drags. The trailer made this movie seem much more lighthearted than it actually is.

winopaul This is a quirky movie that moves slow but it is a nice story. Acting is fantastic. I see the movie did not get wide release and barely made its budget back. I assume this means no studio picked it up, which surprises me. There are tinges of humor, but they wisely didn't try to make it a failed Coen brothers movie, like Leaves of Grass. The tone is spot-on, and what really impressed me was how that yearning plaintive single guitar could make such a good soundtrack so much of the time.Spoiler: Its touching to think a trauma could have made that strapping young guy into a loner, but after his big speech, I was left thinking "You should have got out more, if you don't really enjoy all that solitude."

Roedy Green Get Low I found disappointing. It has expensive cast, Robert Duval, Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek. Small town 1920s is lovingly reproduced. The basic plot is a taciturn, rude, gun-toting, bullying, stereotype old codger, Felix Bush wants to have a funeral party while he is still alive. Murray does a good job with the down at the heels funeral director. He is no hero, but he has his dignity. This simple plot drags on and on and on. All the time, town's people make references to Felix's unspeakably notorious past, but no one ever reveals any details. It gets to be really irritating and artificial. At the funeral party, with plenty of extras in costumes and cars, Felix reveals his crime, which it turns out was not that bad after all. What almost made be throw up was when Felix died for real, his girl friend of the deep past came to visit him as a ghost to guide him to heaven. Gag me with a spoon! How dare they throw in such a trite, cheesy Christian infomercial! (I expected a subtitle -- brought to you by Peter Popoff faith healers).

Joseph Harder Robert Duvall first burst into the consciousness of moviegoers playing that mysterious Southern hermit, Bo Radley, in the ineffable To Kill a Mockingbird. Now, almost fifty years later, Duvall plays another enigmatic southern hermit in this wonderful film. I cannot begin to explore the riches of this beautiful act of cinematic art. To begin, there is the almost perfect acting. Even the smallest character is painted with precise brush - strokes. Duvall, Murray, Spacek, black and Cobb offer portrayals of subtlety and wit. The script - which never strikes asingle false note- is rich in human interest, while the direction is economical and assured. Finally, the film captures its tie and place with astounding accuracy. This is a superb film, a profoundly American parable of sin, confession, atonement and redemption. 9.5
