(2016) Seattle Road
DRAMA
Co-produced, written and directed by Ryan David, which has Adam (Maximillian Roeg) attempting to pick up Eve (Julia Voth) meeting her by chance while he was working behind a counter in some store or soda shop and at a laundry mat. They eventually cross paths again for a third time when she was seeing his roommate. It was at this point, as soon as Eve receives a notice that her estranged dad had passed away, is when she decides to ask Adam to drop everything and come with her to see her aunt, Paddy (Kelly Lynch) and her husband, Alan (Bruce Nozick). Once Eve finds out that her estranged dad did not leave her with anything, including the house she grew up in that has an orchid, she then concocts a lie to Adam that her dad did leave with her the house- located on "Seattle Rd"-hence the title. And Adam believes Eve too, as a realtor attempted to place a "For sale" onto the property, he tells that person Eve inherited the house from her dad.
As this set up only serves as a backdrop to their philosophies on life in general. Eve is an aspiring writer while Adam is a struggling paint artist, and when they ran out of money, Eve sets Adam a job he does not even enjoy working for. The movie takes place only like roughly two to three environments throughout the entire movie, at least 80% is at the house, blah blah blahing.
There's remnants of director of Terence Malick's direction or approach "Tree of Life" and "Tree of Wonder" spread throughout as the couple express their philosphies of life and their opinions about other things. And I don't know if the director named the characters Adam and Eve on purpose as they never like, go to church or anything.
It's okay but it's still not Terrence Malick.
