Best movie ever!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I agree that it has artistic qualities similar to a David Lynch film, especially in regard to the visuals; however, this is a different kind of film, altogether.David's films are ingenious for (among other things) psychological twists/abstraction that builds to meaning in the end, while this film has a different kind of artistic sensibility; the poetic nature of the dialogue really appealed to me personally as a poet myself, and the final sequence of the movie comes across as a damn good poem, as well as the sequence near the middle of the film where Kelly Lynch is discussing her reasons for the suicide attempt, ie "and I just let the rose inside myself spill out." Gorgeous writing, imo.In short, David's movies communicate meaning in large part through the symbolism of their imagery, and while this film has its share of symbolism through the images, its driving force was primarily the poetic attributes of the dialogue, imo. Very nicely done, I enjoyed it. Where has this Joe Gayton guy been? I was very impressed.ps American Beauty is a great film; a classic.

More play than film, "Warm Summer Rain", is an obtuse character study of two troubled people who manage to spend a great deal of time naked, having sex. There are moments that are more akin to an acting class exercise than a real motion picture. Too much of the time we see the actors acting.This film is very derivative. It borrows from many sources including "Last Tango In Paris", "The Terminator", "The Chase", the works of Eugene O'Neill and William Saroyan.Although you can applaud the courage of Kelly Lynch and Barry Tubb, there is very little to admire here in a dramatic way. As a rental, I would barely recommend it.

Warm Summer Rain brings to us feelings we have all experienced... isolation, hopelessness, bewilderment, doubt... and opens a vein of self-examination that asks basically... why? Why me, why life, why love?In seeking meaning and purpose in the midst of social disparity, the couple exploits a temporary pseudo-marriage relationship that allows them intensity. If the dialogue, the feelings, and the interactions sometimes seem awkward, it is in keeping with the ages of the characters...Coming to us in the middle of what some called the ME generation, this film addresses those issues along with post-sixties sexuality and frankness. This has long been one of my favorite Art films and each time I see it I find new symbolism.I swear I have been in several bars identical to the one at the beginning of the movie, and their abandoned house was where I began my own married life. When Kelly Lynch mentions the longing she wakes up with each morning, I know just what she means.So here we have a damsel in distress, a Don Quixote sent to rescue her, some amazing sets, props, characters, and dialogue, and all the elements of a great myth... the conflict, the descent of the hero into the underworld, and the redemption. What else could we hope for?A dance with a five-legged Iguana, that's what.Don't miss this humorous, delightful, thought-provoking movie.* Films similar to this one: Local Hero, The Swimmer (Burt Lancaster), Where the Heart Is (Natalie Portman), Amalie, Harold & Maude.

rented this awhile ago-very ethereal movie, atmospheric, movie is dreamlike all through. If you appreciate these types of movies you will like this-even the title has that dreamlike feel.I'd have to see it again to give it a rating, but remember it as atmospheric, different and disturbing. A good movie for summery rainy day.
