Reviews

awg-07529 So is this a Hollywood take on the French film 5-7? The two films are quite similar so when watching the preview it was unclear from a vague memory if the film had actually been seen already. The film has some appealing aspects. PB is strong as the father. It does feel a good deal like a Woody Allen drama at times. It does take itself way too seriously. There is a line early in the film when the narrator says something like "the character of the young man symbolizes the new New York". That is a Brooklyn bridge too far! There has to be a rule in Hollywood not to compare any one person to the city of New York. Especially a rich young bratty white guy. That might work a little for Boulder, CO but not NYC. Decent film with a title song that is simply much better than the film.

bshaef If Amazon's picture selectors picked this they need to go back to film school 101 and learn what makes a good picture. The only saving grace was that the actors gave strong performances even though the story was totally unbelievable. I think I felt their shame more than once when they delivered every know cliche' known to movie going audiences. I'll bet Jeff Bridges was red all the way through the bar scene. Jeff Bezos may be the richest man in the world but he better get some people in his film group with a more discerning eye, or his competitors will force its closing pretty soon. Maybe this one is why he recently fired one of the top guys in the division.

ray-fager01 First of all Simon and Garfunkel's song is one of my all time favorites, love that song! I am also a huge Jeff Bridges fan, love the way he delivers a line. So, I went into this with high expectations and for me, it did not disappoint. I thought the writing was very good and the performances excellent with a nice little twist towards the end. Watch it and see what you think!

Felix Yaroshevsky It develops like contemporary production of Greek tragedy - takes off with gentle suspension, which culminates for a viewer in empathetic co- experiencing and ends as a fairy tale. Solid, seemingly a "small film", but almost all human relational realities encompassed in this pretzel of passion, confusion and fog of existential searching for the meaning of Life - only to find it in simple humanity right at home.
