The Shade

I've honestly never seen another movie quite like it. In my own life, I was lucky enough to never have to deal with the problems that the main character does. But I felt like I was able to imagine what it would be like to be Ryan and living in Ryan's world. This was made possible by the great performances and realistic dialogue. It's cool when something feels real even when it's very different from your own personal experiences. A lot is left unanswered, but I enjoy that because I think it makes the world feel bigger and more mysterious and gives me something to think about after the movie ends. Great first movie from Tyler Chipman.
