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.

Any Day Now

Deb 10   Me 8

This one was a pleasant surprise. It's the story of two gay men in the mid-1980s trying to adopt a kid with disabilities. A good story, credible and enjoyable. Bad hair. For some reason they used wigs on actors who shouldn't have worn wigs, but that is a minor grievance. I really liked the way the story unfolded. I liked the people in the movie and what it said about them and their world. I might give it a ten BUT about five minutes from the end there was a power outage and we missed what may have been important information. Without that closure I'll dip it down a little, but what we saw, and that was 90% was 100% engaging.
