Reviews
Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
jamesgc-1 I enjoyed this movie a lot. The opening scenes, focusing on shots of electrical leads unravelling, an alienated janitor, moving his hoover back & forth, show that this is the kinda of film which you may have to suspend judgement a little over what is happening and where it might be heading and perhaps look a little deeper at the symbolism. Inter-twining lives are not of course new but those of the three male leads, Bill, Gary & Travis & that of Karen are not so much connected by events but more by how they are dealing, or not dealing with, their various personal dilemmas & tragedies or just their own approaches to their lives. Beautifully shot, well acted & directed, this film has more than an air of surrealism & may be open to more interpretation of the dreams & realities & possibilities than perhaps you might think at first. Recommended.
mcguiness-fiona This would have to be the worst movie I have ever seen. I kept hanging on thinking that something would happen or something would make sense eventually or something would fall into place or something - anything - - but no. I could not work out the meaning of this movie - was there a meaning to this movie? Maybe it was just about the pointlessness of life....whatever, I thought of topping myself - fortunately the movie ended. This movie is depressing and pointless. I just wish I had turned it off after the first half hour when I still had enough good sense to know that I was going to regret leaving it on. Forever hopeful I thought something might happen - I live and learn.
alifrog-1 This movie is a complete waste of time. I have watched it and could not tell you what it was about. The cover of the movie is pure deception, it leads you to believe that it is a sit on the edge of your seat movie NOT. If you want to feel really depressed go ahead and watch it but leave the pills in the bathroom. 90 minutes of my life felt like a lifetime of head in bucket full of snakes.Sorry but just did not get it at all.Wanted a movie with some feel to it , all I felt was pain. I kept telling myself it will get better, but alas it never did. The only thing that saved the movie for me was that it finally ended. I was holding on looking for that spark that would tell You did not waste your money but that never happened.
dramaqueen7575 I saw this movie at the SXSW Film Festival. I went in with high expectations, and this film did not disappoint. I am a huge fan of a screenplay with characters that are somehow interconnected. It doesn't hurt when these characters are played by some of the most gifted actors in the business today. Dylan Baker, Timothy Hutton, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Sharon Stone-- you really can't get much better that that. Not only is this movie entertaining, it really makes you think. After the movie received a standing ovation from the audience, I walked out thinking about the movie and honestly didn't stop thinking about it for about a week! I can not wait until this film comes out on DVD. I recommend WHEN A MAN FALLS IN THE FOREST to everyone!
