Watch Uncle Kent For Free

Very well executed

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Well I just saw this movie on Sundance Channel and I am pondering to myself as to why I just wasted 72 minutes of my life on this. It had a very poor story line, almost like a poor knock off of The 40 Year Old Virgin except the fact the main character wasn't a virgin, obviously and was just pitifully pathetic (if that makes any sense). If this movie had to be done for reasons unbeknownst to me, they could've cut a lot of unnecessary crap in the middle. It could've been and should have much shorter. I too must have missed whatever deep and profound meaning that was supposed to have been embedded in this, whatever it was because I didn't get it.

I thought Uncle Kent was funny and well directed with some great ideas. The movie flips back and forth between using regular cameras and using the main character's Flipcam which gives it a really cool style that certainly suits the story and tone of the movie. Characters like Kent, Kate, and Kev were all fleshed out nicely. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. The acting was great as you grow to both love and hate certain characters. The only thing stopping this movie from being an 8 or 9 is a more resolute ending. Sometimes just giving us the tip of the iceberg works, sometimes it doesn't. Regardless, I would love to see more by the team behind this movie and I'm not surprised at all to see it made it to Sundance 2011.

I really enjoyed this film. It's a totally different perspective in that it considers dating in our present world for a 40-year old man. It's honest and sincere and sometimes very awkward. At times it's laugh at loud funny with characters I really believed. Highly recommend.I think Hollywood has forgotten that sometimes silence says more than words. In this movie there are times when the character doesn't know what to say. This might even be true. It's so believable I can't tell! Poor Uncle Kent. Great job Joe Swanberg. My favorite movie from you for sure.Worth every minute.

Found the film interesting, and certainly was worth watching. I found the review previously posted to be way to harsh in that the film was obviously shot the way it was, (shots from flip cam, lighting choices in certain scenes etc.) to create voyeuristic feel to the story. I was left wanting more resolution at the end. That was one of the only things I saw in this film, in my opinion, that was a problem for me.I did however find the editing on this film to appear more as a rough cut the a fine cut and I believe the story could have would have advanced a lot smoother, with some of the seemingly long clips for no apparent reason to simply been shortened. As a filmmaker myself, I find it encouraging for all filmmakers, to see a film with this kind of a budget get the attention of Sundance.
