SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
igofishing The main character's Tourette's episodes seem way overdone. His illness is distracting and hard to watch. I couldn't watch for more than 10 minutes. How can someone who can't focus be an artist let alone live by himself? Is Tourette's actually a visual perception problem like vertigo. Morrows over acting reminded me of a Talking Heads video. I guy Morrow couldn't tell himself that he is overdoing it. This is the problem with self-directed movies. I thought it was supposed to be a drama not a comedy. Morrow's acting would have played well in a National Lampoon movie. Could have picked a more appropriate title for the movie since it was misleading. Dizzy would have been closer to the truth.
Raul-5 I just watched this peace of art in my living room on a LCD, and a movie with Laura Linney is always some kind of a wonderful experience. The story is touching, Rob Morrow is superb, Craig Sheffer intense as ever. Humor is here, great performing is here. The relationships are profound, you really get in tune with a deceased painter that wants to live a life out of the blue, that can love just anybody else but is afraid to tell. This is sweet cinema as a maze of passion can be. As I read: can a man and a woman remain just friends? Can two friends remain like so when a woman comes in? If you want your life changed for a 100 minutes go grab it right away.
David R. Secondino I kind of liked this movie, but I feel it is not quite as good as the reviews indicate. Good points: Excellent acting all around, good writing and decent direction. Bad points: Very slow pacing (too many dead spots), weak editing, and an annoying cinematography technique of switching to a first person view (and a blurry one at that) when Lyle is having a Tourette's attack. Overall: Good, but not great, 6/10.
nielle I had no idea what to expect with this movie, renting it on a whim... but it moved me more than a movie has in a very long time. Rob Morrow does a fantastic job of portraying this tormented artist who also has a wonderful sense of humor. The characters are believable and real, and I instantly was drawn into the story. I love it when a movie captures me that way, and I really care about what happens to the characters. This movie is insightful, artistic, emotional, funny and educational (especially for someone like me who knew nothing about what it's like to have Tourette Syndrome). Also, the soundtrack is unique and moving - VERY original. There is some nudity but not sexually (women posing for Lyle Maze, the artist) and some bad language. What struck me most about the movie was the innocence in the love portion of the story. It's beautiful and complicated like love tends to be. Go rent it! :)
