Best movie of this year hands down!
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Milford's film is pure genius, the film creates its own world, totally original and real, you can see into the shadows and see whatever you want. It's like a dream but still has a story that reaches a real climax. the cast is perfect and multi-ethnic, a real surprise for films like this. not a frame is out of place or too long.i saw a battered old video tape that was passed around like a cheap whore and it still looked good, I'm sure if u are lucky to see an original DVD or see it projected you are in for a real treat. the fact that it is a gay film should not scare people, the story is universal. the music is also a real treat. this is the kind of film u can watch over and over again or leave it playing on your TV as cool video art.
Unique idea, well-executed, screened with an original score performed live by an orchestral group which makes it that much more emotional, charming and touching. Shot on, I believe, a hand-crank 1920's (?)camera for the most part (or perhaps entirely). Even if it weren't so interesting to watch and listen to, the story itself is so charming, uplifting, enlightening, if not a bit heartbreaking, that it alone deserves to be experienced. Loved it, and would see it again in a heartbeat if it were to come back to town. It won several awards, I believe, in one of the San Fransisco film festivals, and I expect is the first of many great films by Milford Thomas. He is a director with a natural talent for both creative film-making and strikingly touching visual storytelling.
