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.

Amour

Deb 10     Me 10

I knew nothing about this little gem. You know when you go to weddings and they give that bit about honor and sickness and health and better and worse and all that. This is the movie in a nutshell. It looks like a cross between Jim Jarmuch and Stanley Kubrick, while still maintaining originality. Acting, make up, set design, all that stuff is top notch. The story is compelling and told with authentic authority. Would never have guessed, but this was really a unique and well done feature on a difficult topic.
