Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022)

Review by HypnoticPoison7

Palm Trees and Power Lines

4/10

It doesn't make you care.

Saw this for the Sundance festival, and it was a huge disappointment coming from the short film version of the same name. While the short film had the better main actress (she seemed more innocent, more believable, had a better singing voice, a more pleasant appearance, etc.,), this full length version had Jonathan Tucker. Having been a fan of his films since he started as a child actor, I knew he would be impressive as the role of the 'creepy dude' in this...and he was. Yet the slow pacing of the film and the drawn out unnecessary scenes centered around the lazy girl with equally lazy friends managed to swallow Tucker up completely. It felt like a waste of talent. I didn't think the director would take this version the direction that she did considering how the short film ended, and that was another disappointment. It was quite unrealistic and too grotesque to take seriously. As a woman it is becoming increasingly hard to watch movies made by women if this is the result. I've seen so many lately with the same qualities...slow pace, unrealistic drama, boring typical dialogue and almost all character development is non existent. They don't know how to make you care. This movie is another great example of that.
