Reviews
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
If you haven't seen it already, go see it. I seriously doubt you will be able to find it at your local video store.I was able to see it at my college media library.It is definitely worth the trouble of finding it.
Rosenblatt takes an avant garde approach to telling the anguish a young boy experiences growing up in the city. Confronting sexuality, masculinity, and self-worth, the narrative is formed entirely by stock footage, and Rosenblatt ingeniously weaves his story through editing and sound. The film is a unique and thought-provoking experience.
