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.

Deb 8 Me 7

Another quiet coming of age kind ‘o movie, this one was endearing. The movie pushes you to accept the situations they provide no resolutions or explanations of their origin or results and I liked that aspect of it. It’s just a bunch of people trying to get along and, for the most part, doing the best they can. John C. Reilly is a bit of a caricature and the guyitar player from the Grass Roots is a capable addition, but the star is a big kid named Jacob Wysocki who really was engaging. There’s a bunch of young actors who are pretty phenomenal these days, I’m curious to see where he goes from here. But the movie was just pleasant to watch, not too deep, not too trite.
