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.

Le Week-end

Deb 4    Me 3

The title translates to "the Weekend", yet it feels like it took a month to watch it. Set in Paris, you'd think the scenery would be used to best advantage, but no. A big problem for us was the actors whispered most of the time. Couldn't hear a thing and knew nothing of what was going on. To add to the frustration, the few parts we could hear sounded like they might have been interesting if there was a context. Jeff Goldblum was a welcome addition to the otherwise anonymous cast as we could hear him fine and his character was amusing. The other players even commented that he was loud, so the quiet talking throughout was by design, just a very bad idea from our vantage point. A waste of time.
