PodBill Just what I expected
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
attills64 Spoiler alert to some degree. I have many reasons to attend, watch and work on a wide variety of productions but feel that a warning should be given when you watch a Christmas film to get a shot of glitter and Christmas spirit and end up watching a film that is designed to depress. There are many deep meaningful films.They are very important and help people both understand and work though issues that they have encountered in there lives. They also educate and help the the ignorant understand how these problems effect those immersed in these issues. I have been on both sides but when wanting to have that hot chocolate feeling this film wont even switch the kettle on let alone open the cocoa.
mikechinea Nick Fackler knocked "Lovely, Still" out of the ballpark. This is a love story at heart that engages you with humor, drama and honesty. Why this movie was overlooked by the Golden Globes, Oscars and SAG awards will be a mystery to me. I would vote it best Indie out there. Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn gave exceptional performances along with Adam Scott and Elizabeth banks. What we think at the beginning is a love late in life romantic comedy between a curmudgeonly elder and a lonely widow turns into a beautifully crafted compelling drama. We all had a father or dear uncle like Martin landau's character Robert Malone who late in life doesn't always seem to be all there. I highly recommended.
Marta I have to say that I was prepared to really like this film, since it was shot in Omaha by a native Omahan, and it's true the actors were wonderful. The story, however, is more in M. Night Shyamalan's territory. Through the whole film you're watching one story, and then at the end you're switched to a completely different direction that renders what you've watched nonsense. While this type of setup was extremely effective in "The Sixth Sense," it is not meant for this kind of film. Sweet and tender it is not.I felt disgust by what was done to Martin Landau's character, and couldn't believe a wife would perpetrate this on a husband she supposedly loves. I was fully expecting a haunting of some kind from the choppy earlier part of the film, and it had a creepy feeling through most of it, so the end came as a double shock. Definitely not for everyone.
ohnomon For a first time director/writer, this film is amazing. The sweet and the sour are both represented and displayed in such beautiful style. There is no question that the power of love is alive and well in this amazing story.All of the actors really took to their roles; for me this is always a sign that a great director is behind the project. Can anyone say Clint Eastwood?See this film, and tell everyone you know to see this film. We loved it.Major distribution will pick this one up.
