best movie i've ever seen.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I would have given this 6 stars, but felt I needed to rate it higher than that, in order to make up for two ridiculously low votes this film received. I am glad I watched this film because the subject matter is serious, yet it doesn't drag us through the seriousness of the situation - - how two "throw away" kids in a dysfunctional family, in a dysfunctional universe, have learned to cope against all odds. I enjoyed watching the writer/actress India. She has a strong screen presence and I will look for more from her in the future. Her character, Scout, is brave and clever. And even though so many people in her life have betrayed her and let her down, she still has the discernment to be able to trust someone who is emotionally handicapped, but with good reason.I enjoyed seeing Scout and Sam connect, in a series of scenes that showed the progression of trust and care between the two of them. And I appreciated that friendship was the core of their connection. To have one friend in this life who truly cares about you and whom you can truly trust to look out for your well being -- well, that trumps just about anything the world can throw at you. In ABOUT SCOUT, a serious subject has been handled with enough truth to make it believable, enough heart to make it endearing, and enough hope to make it inspirational. Yep -- definitely worth watching.
I guess now it's cool to have a movie with a chick with colored hair wearing "punk" clothes to really add the essence of an "indie drama". Not to mention the story has no plot and the girl tries so hard to be bad-ass, quirky, and deep it's just pathetic. The girl who plays her little sister is a terrible actress. The whole movie is just terrible. I wish I could get that 1 hour and 30 minutes back from my life. But oh no, that's not all! It must be an amazing movie if every song they play throughout it is some sort of decent folk/indie band to make up for the cliché plot. Seriously, get better taste in movies. Just because they talk about the Great Gatsby (which everyone has read in high school), put some dumb blonde bitch to play the role of a "rebel", and play one Bright Eyes song, does NOT make it worthy of more than 4/10 stars.
Looks like I'm in disagreement with the other reviewers so far on the site, as I found this indie rang false with me pretty much from start to finish. India Ennenga and James Frecheville have good screen presence in their lead roles here, and there are some endearing moments along the way. However, to me, I just thought the plot elements were absurd, the dialogue weak, the characters surfacy, and the movie just left me with a pervasive sadness and hollow feeling. There are plenty of name actors in supporting roles in the film, but they can only do so much with the stilted and lifeless script.Overall, I just couldn't buy into what this indie was "selling", although I see the movie struck others quite differently.
This movie was filmed at a house I was renting in Bakersfield south of downtown. I allowed them to film the scenes of the grandmothers house and even some of my little sister's drawings were used in the movie. Everyone from the production crew was very nice and even allowed us to walk around and see how they transformed our house into the grandmothers house. The literally took everything out and put in what looked like vintage furniture. I thought about looking for the movie and I remembered the production lady told me the name of the movie would be "scout". She then also told me that Ellen Burstyn would be in it and would be the one doing some scenes at my house. I was then very excited because Requiem for a dream is one of my all time favorite movies and couldn't believe she would be there. I would really like to watch this movie. Please tell me how I can watch it alsrocket
