The most melancholy title I have liked on Blu,
By Steve Kuehl “SLV Video” (Ben Lomond, CA) -
Had not heard a thing about his title and it received little to no support for distribution. Part of my higher rating is that it falls into the non self absorbed category containing several A-list actors, and is a great film.
A long story of good people suffering through different levels of anger, depression, retribution, loss, and in the end trying to find some semblance of living a decent life. What makes this movie watchable is the film quality and style; A great deal of close-ups, panoramic focuses, and slow-motion with zooms - all whilst looking incredible on Blu. Each main actor performed believably, but especially the deaf newcomer (playing a deaf teen) Spencer Hudson who shows some wonderful depth.
The filming locations and city-scapes in Canada looked flawless. A good deal of effort was obviously put into making this look clear, professional and meticulously framed. This writer/director’s freshman piece was preserved excellently, and looks especially pristine in Blu; excellent start. The DTS gets used primarily with the music, as 99% of this film is dialogue. The blue tint, gloomy weather and dark clothing are prevalent throughout, but the yellow chicken suit and wedding scenes give some vibrancy occasionally. I just have to mention again that the clarity is awesome…wow.
Customers have watched it playing in the store and appear quite surprised by the film. For me, this is Ashton’s best film and performance to date, so hopefully the haters will take a rest and give this a chance. I have seen the same reaction here that I read about elsewhere in people saying how bad this is because of Mr. Demi, but I think of this as an owner for the Michelle and Ash fans, and a renter for the Kathy Bates group.
I had to ding one star because this is a classic role model for how not to do a behind the scenes piece. It runs 19 minutes and contains 11 minutes of long takes from the film. I just watched two hours of gloom, I do not feel like watching it again right after to learn about how they got there. The remainder is mostly about how great everyone is, so hopefully the filmmaker has learned that Blu has the capability to hold lots of material, so make it worthwhile next time. No other features.
