Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022)

Review by ops-52535

Palm Trees and Power Lines

5/10

njaanooo...

Rough subjects, and sore super actual realism it has, the theme of human trafficking and/or grooming, that happens every day all over the world.

There are really no surprising moments in this flick about a lonely girl brought up in a single parent home, with a mum that is wingeling in and out of partnerships herself, not the ideal idol for a ''notknowhow'' 17 year old girl that doesnt feel love anywhere, even not from her closests friends...

this is a film that may disturb the metoo squad, and it is so too, but ive seen worse in really decent movies on the silverscreen in the past, that sets the path even tougher and more gross and swift than between the'' palm trees and powerlines'' of southern california...

what draws this film down is the extremely slow plotspeed, an unbearable long playtime and a weak caracter build up in general of the people that surrounds the main caracter. Allthough the acts of the two mains heaves this silverscreen moment above the water surface so that you maybe able to breath.

But a wow it is not and a meehh it aint either, so the grumpy old man calls out a 5 stars outta 10 for its socialrealistic value, and should and could be recommended as part of a curricullum for some young members and ditto parents of todays society as a reminder that dull and slow maybe a safe factor when screaming out for love for the first time...
