MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

The Future


Deb 7, Me 7


Lately I’ve been taken with the thought that we’re all just a house of cards and the slightest ill wind or shock can send us tumbling. Sometimes we try to improve our odds by adding tape or glue to the equation in an attempt to shore things up. Usually trying to strengthen it disturbs the balance and it all comes down anyway. That’s the feeling I got from this odd little movie. Fragile people trying to enhance a fragile relationship. There’s also a talking cat, and it’s just as obnoxious as it sounds, but is a valid part of the story. Seemingly filled with symbols and metaphors its quirks are redeeming but not totally rewarding. We both liked it and it initiated a lot of conversation.
