Soul in the Hole

As is usual when opinions are as polarized as two below, the truth lies somewhere in between.

This is a rushed-feeling, over-long, rather incoherent film that lets us experience a fascinating aspect of American life by watching a year in the mentor-student (and almost father-son) relationship of two passionate, opinionated, talented, striving and tragically flawed men.

It is worth watching because the intertwined stories of Kenny and Booger will teach you things about life and love, coping and forgiving, failure and success. It is, however, extremely poorly edited, telling you far more than you want to about many things and far less than you should about others.

I predict that SOUL IN THE HOLE is a film you will WANT to like better than you actually DO, an often fascinating, but ultimately frustrating experience.
