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.

In A World

Deb 8     Me 8

I don't know why but I was really looking forward to this and in the end I was very happy to have seen it.This is one of those film where one person is in charge of just about everything. In this case its a gal named Lake Bell who wrote, directed and stars in this little gem. At first I was taken by what I thought was bad acting, then I decided it was the direction, then suddenly, magically about twenty minutes in the problem went away and the rest flowed like ink. The reason I stuck with it during the mis-cue part is that its a great story and just overall appealing. I liked it more and more as it developed. There's a lot of nose humor, some more subtle than others and it covers a lot of social taboo bases quite well. Definitely enjoyable.
