Absolutely Fantastic

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I'm a bit of a sucker for NYC based dramas, having liked Woody Allen's work since 90's. This is no Woody Allen movie, but quite good nonetheless.The acting is good all the way, the script too. It's interesting, the dialogue is never boring. The intertwined story lines don't feel forced.Like someone else here stated, I'm not sure if Isabel's story is the most interesting here, even tho she's clearly in focus most of the time. Ms. Banks is good here, and her career has gone up since this movie for a good reason.The most interesting character here is probably her to-be husband Jonathan (James Marsden) who battles with a serious dilemma. It's at the same time one of the most interesting aspects of this movie, but also a bit of a problem. It's difficult not to write about it without giving anything away, but in the finale was slightly questionable. Stop reading here if you don't want to be spoiled.In the end Isabel breaks up with Jonathan, but it's not quite clear if she does it because he was cheating on her, or because he was gay/bisexual - or both. She's just shocked to see him kissing a guy and in the next scene they've separated already. We don't get a better resolution for the relationship.It's a good movie anyway. Recommended. I hadn't heard of this before, but it caught my eye on Netflix and I don't regret the time spent.

This film from Terrio kind of impressed me but it also left me a bit unsatisfied. It had a lot of potential to be a great drama, and don't get me wrong, it was pretty good. Fueled by Close's performance, and a solid screenplay from Amy Fox, Heights managed to tell an interesting story and kept me intrigued throughout. Although at times it got a bit overstretched and uninteresting, the performances were pretty good and Terrio's directionw as not bad. The cinematography and score could have been better, both technical aspects of this film that were a bit underused in my eyes. But overall, it was a pretty good film.-- IMDb Rating: 7.1, my rating: 8/10

Heights is an independent film starring Glenn Close & featuring Up & coming actors from TV & film, Many of who I did not recognize.We follow a small group of people for one full day,In one way or another they are all connected.This is an intelligent well written script, very well acted, You (I at least) had a feeling that either I know or would like to know each member of the cast.There are all sorts of relationships here,including very well handled gay ones.Being an independent film with no special effects, it did not play in too many theatres. This is one of the tragedies of current film distribution. I saw it on cable TV, . It is available for rent.I highly recommend this film. You will not be disappointed.Rating ***1/2 out of 4, 92 points out of 10, IMDb 9 out of 10.

I truly enjoyed this film. I had heard so much about it online and from friends, so I finally watched it the other night. I was very impressed. It's so nice to see Glenn Close back in the limelight this past year. She is one of the best. Ms. Close was also the perfect actor to play the role of Diana Lee. She brought veracity, desperation, and charm to a character that may have otherwise been easily disliked. Desperation can be a truly likable quality in a film's character. Each one of the characters in this story had a quiet desperation about them. Desperation and denial. Key aspects of all human lives. I challenge anyone to tell me these were not realistic characters. The story itself or the situations they were put into, maybe not. You have a famed actress who has everything except a stable relationship with her husband, a struggling photo journalist slowly realizing her life isn't a perfect as it seems, a youthful lawyer seeking the perfect way to forget himself, and a young actor needing more than just a steady gig onstage. I highly recommend this film. You'll come away feeling something, and that is the most important thing.
