... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreI managed to watch Fourteen minutes deep into this movie.First and foremost...I had a hard time distinguishing the ugly androgynous girl and boy.Just because you slap a bunch of Lousy video clips together does not make it art. Probably somebody out there has no taste and will like this garbage, and for whatever reason manage to watch it longer than I have.Taking a dump and eating a bagel was a lot more exciting than this movie.I don't know how this movie ended up in my stack of bootlegs.but..IT SUCKED HARD.
... View MoreAll Hype! What better way to describe a movie about people who are upset because they can't release their film through a mainstream distributor? Consequently, they do it themselves. Otherwise, the hype of the film doesn't justify the content in the film. The story is absent and could easily be a short. The acting is poor, but the animation and music is pretty good. Otherwise don't waste your time - don't believe the hype! However, if you have the chance to see the film for free, do so. Then you won't have to waste money. Still, the filmmakers do a good job of pressing their story and creating cliffhangers with their self-indulgent mini-series. Otherwise, they're one hit wonders who never had a hit.
... View MoreI've seen this film twice and I am convinced that it is one of the best things I have ever seen. Knowing a few things about the film-making process (I am an editor), I can say that this is not only a unique and well made film, but it is one that should define what a true independent film is. Its not too often you see a film that not only stars its makers but shares their story and illustrates their feelings so well and cleverly. Its as if the film was being shot as their real life story was unfolding- and maybe it was. There's no evidence of a script in this movie, no feeling that a screenwriter sat up all night thinking of the perfect line the boy would say to the girl to win her over. This is a relationship story as awkward and complicated as relationships are for all of us in real life. its great to see this on a screen unfolding to excellent and crafty editing and music. i almost get the feeling that these two met one day and said lets make a movie of our lives starting... now! Its such a great way to tell a story. Arin and Susan really made a film that a lot of us can make, maybe just not as well. They prove that you don't have to be Spielberg or whoever to make a film that is incredible. I recommend this film to anyone looking for a new style, a unique film about a unique love story. This is the type of film that might actually save us from the crap being sold to us on a regular basis. Why this film isn't being exploited and shown on a wide scale is crazy to me. A cult-type film for sure. Check it out.
... View More.....both times I saw it in Austin. The film takes an approach at film-making that I have never seen before, with a topic so apt that you have to see it to understand. The style is somewhere in between faux documentary and fiction, and the editing and music are virtually seamless. Another thing that really stuck out for me in this film was the acting, they have this ensemble of something like 50 actors, all spot on with their performances. I recommend seeing this movie at one of it's upcoming screenings to check out all of the talent oozing from every pore of Susan, Arin and every actor involved in this film. I think their next screening is at Gen Art in NY, and I'm sure its making the festival circuit elsewhere. Don't miss it if you can help it!
