This film is a tragedy! ...because it hasn't gotten the attention near it's due!! The score is PERFECT! I was incredibly impressed with how well the music fit the mood of the moment! The performances were dead on...but beware it's depth is dedicated to the artists. It's heartfelt journey allows you a window into the human qualities of every person...even those whom are placed within a society that deem them psychotic. Demons haunt each of us, whether your teacher or student, and sometimes help can come from the most unlikely avenues. More often than not, the ones that are most lost are those that appear acceptable under societies conditions. If you asked yourself looking at all the films you've watched in your lifetime, the one's that made your top ten list, what was it that helped them ride that list? I'd guess they shared one incredibly important item, you CARED about what happened to the characters in it. You watched it feeling for them, hoping for them, crying for them, or laughing with them. This was easily achieved here. The element of humor is added in the most unassuming places, creating the 'real' quality to lighten the mood. This film made me laugh, and cry, angry, and feel empathy, as a Mother, Friend. This is exactly this type of film that infuriates me the most, so well executed, yet so few eyes on it...it's the perfect example that bigger budgets don't necessarily mean better films. A frugal Lady, and I bought it to own, for weighing the cost vs entertainment made for a simplistic assessment of an easy ROI.
Amazon to enjoy!
