Up on the Glass

Up on the Glass was Enjoyable, well acted Great performance by the actors Great script Very believable. Up on the Glass is a must watch ! 10/10

This movie put me to sleep, and I fought sleep hoping it would lead to some deeper meaning to be gleaned for my effort. My wasted 90 minutes would have been more beneficial in sleep time. I did not want to be so mean to the movie or maybe my tastes for quality movies have changed as I used to be able to watch anything when I did not value my leisure time as much.

I watched this one just to see if it was as bad as the ratings. It was. If the 10/10 reviews aren't fake, then I'll watch it 50 more times. The one thing it does is keep you wondering if something is going to happen, so I did watch it all the way through. Nothing does. The performances by the 'Jack' and 'Liz' actors aren't horrible, but I'll be surprised if anyone in this film can make a living as an actor. As for the ending - it probably deserves a lower score than the movie overall.

Choices to be made make this thriller one to think about long after this movie ends. Unexpressed feelings and unaddressed anger of main character Jack is the start. Other characters like Andy have their character flaws as well. College friends reunite with their worst traits exposed. One is doing well financially yet not happy. Another wants to be successful and is not ! Relational conflicts from the past to the present leads to tragic consequences and unexpected choices. I Like the thoughts for this movie watcher to ponder it all !

The script was intriguing and soul searching about class struggle and how it is difficult to overcome your past. The cinematography was beautiful. The way the shots were done really increased the beauty of the setting and enhanced the progress of the plot. The sound work was great especially since so much of the filming was outside. Each actor seemed to become their character. I heard that the writers/directors had only a $60,000 budget. If that's so this was a phenomenal work of script writing and film making.
