Timbertown

From the ecclesiastical transient to the symbolic four seasons, there is a genius to Timbertown. Though I think parts of the film will be a little slow for some people I think the film is well done. I loved what they were trying to do with the four seasons part, but it was too long. It would have been more effective if it was shorter.

The characters are eccentric but not overdone. I especially liked the contrast between the transient and DNR officer Pearson. Cory Kays was excellent and could have had more screen time. All and all a solid indie film that might not be for everyone, but those who get it will get it.

The movie started out pretty good. A little slow but the dialogue was good. I really enjoyed the character of the officer - his philosophical, Shakespeare quoting personality was quite fun. But, the movie totally lost its way when it came to the couple meeting and falling in love. For some reason, the filmmakers decided viewers didn't need to hear dialogue between them and chose to just have violin music as the background of their entire story. You get the gist of their story but miss out on the way they speak and interact with each other. So, it feels like an entirely different movie that what it was in the beginning. And the movie kind of rambles along to the end. It is a shock to see how the pastor is really killed. I mean jaw-dropping, but the movie just feels kind of lost after this. Like they're not sure how to finish it up. The majority of the actors were good, characters likeable (except the victim who is really despicable) the cinematography is good, too. But the way the story is put together is convoluted. Sad because it could have been really good.

I think this movie was very engaging, though quite different from what i expected.

I don't know why it has poor reviews, unless some people just don't like to know we'll all stand to be accounted for our actions.

I don't know why a movie needs swearing. I didn't think they were carefully not swearing; i didn't like the word used to describe the two punks.

But i think it's about coming to terms with God during, or even at the end of one's life. Maybe the preacher's death was part of his judgment. The DNR man was given a chance to find God at the end. Maybe the husband was ready to die. I wasn't given much insight into his character so that may be his purpose in the movie.

I couldnt understand nor hear the beginning words that were spoken!! And it was slow..slow slow dialect!! The actors were like first time acting or something!! Sorry..not sorry!!

This is meant to be a Christian movie about faith and discovering what is important. The three pronged storyline is used to some good benefit but literally nothing happens to anyone or anything until the very end. Dialogue is unrealistic but somewhat engaging with unlikely characters carefully not cursing. This feels like it wants to be an interesting movie but fails utterly to make its point or succeed in capturing attention. 3 stars (grudgingly).
