Highly recommend this charmingly compact indie film.
One of the worst negatives in today's world is the curt approach that social media has fostered. People are hyper-critical. Unrelenting. And unrealistic.
In a world where everything is too slow and too common, The Issue With Elvis asks us to slow down and pay attention to the life all around us...because there are lives at stake. And it matters.
In the golden years of indie film, the 1980-1990s brought us wonderful slices-of-life; movie gems to touch our hearts.
The Issue With Elvis is one of those gems. It doesn't try to force dialogue to sound "like other movies." The actors act. The sets are limited. It's all about the story and that slice-of-life.
Written and Directed by PhD in neuroscience Charlotte Wincott, The Issue With Elvis stars her husband (Jeff Wincott) and son (Wolfgang Wincott). What a wonderful family effort that really lends to the vulnerability of the relationships and authentic vibe of the story.
The Issue With Elvis asks us to pay attention to the "life" all around us.
To each other.
Because it matters.
