Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MoreI really enjoyed the highly original film "Footprints" at the Egyptian Theater! It's very exciting to see a filmmaker step out and make a story that cannot be compared to any other. The gradual unveiling of all the mythological elements made for a very captivating story with the perfectly crafted pieces fitting together beautifully. At the end, the film's surprise makes sense. All of the characters were well drawn and well cast- the acting was very believable and fun. I look forward to the success of Footprints and other movies that Steven Peros will undoubtedly make in the future, hopefully again starring Sybil Temtchine, who definitely belongs in every frame!!
... View MoreIt's rare that I see a film at a festival that stays with me for more than a day. Most have a quick gimmick or retread well worn territory but really have nothing much else of substance to them and are forgotten usually by the next morning."FOOTPRINTS" is a film that breaks this mold wide open. It's graceful, poetic and resonates like very few films ever do--be they in a festival or in a theater. It's very difficult to summarize or characterize the movie beyond saying that it touches you. It certainly touched me and has stayed with me since I saw it. I don't want to try to "summarize" what the film is about, it wouldn't do it justice. Suffice it to say, the performances are delicate and rich, the images beautifully realized and the story deeply compelling.If you get a chance to see it--don't pass it up. I'm sure it will be at many festivals and certain it will be in the theaters one day soon.
... View MoreI saw the film when it screened at the Denver Film Festival this November. It is beautifully framed, smartly directed, and interesting. It felt like the films of the 40s (almost film noir, but not as dark) superimposed with modern times. Comfortable, yet mysterious. Filmed in Hollywood, it covered many of the familiar sights that so represent the city, yet was never old nor boring. It was well paced and made sense, and actually had not just an end, but a satisfying ending, unlike many of the screened movies... There were many nuances and undercurrents that the viewer has to watch for, and I wish that I had been able to catch the second screening to enhance those that I had already picked up on. It can be as deep, or as shallow, as the viewer wants, but will never be boring. I highly recommend this film. Catch it if you can...
... View MoreI walked into this at a recent film festival, not expecting too much. The movie poster is a girl laying on the sidewalk...or maybe she is she sleeping. I couldn't tell. But, anyway, to the point. I LOVED this movie. It was sweet, imaginative, endearing... and most of all - REFRESHING. It has been so long since I've seen a film, even at a theater, let alone a festival, that has really stayed with me. But this one has. The writer/director delivers a very original and incredibly interesting take on show business, and all of her many pawns. Anybody who has a dream can get something out of this movie. It is truly inspiring.
