My new favorite movie
PostedOctober 2, 2009
philipmerrill
from Pasadena
I grew up with movies and Bob Altman went from MASH to Nashville while I was under 20. This really brought me back to those days and knocked me out as a first effort directing. The whole movie had so much heart and proved that art and great characters can drive a theatergoing experience without being what a friend called "too meta". Granted, Ellen Page gets lots of credit for keeping us right there with the whole movie, but the extensive cast all held up their roles. See it to believe it. It may not triumph at the Oscars but it deserves to. This is a fabulous and all-American piece of art and a great time in the theater.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
