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.

Museum Hours



Deb 9    Me 9

If you like movies you might not like this, but if you like art, you’ll love it. First off, it slowed me down, put on my brakes so I could absorb each beautifully created shot. The whole thing was shot unsympathetically in Vienna. I was there in a November and this captures the grey gloom perfectly. The movie explores a new relationship of two people dealing with their past and present through art, some of it at a museum, some of it in their environment. It was really a refreshing and interesting (albeit slow) movie. No chase scenes, no blood, no action. Just respect, affection, and a sincere appreciation for art. Every shot is a beauty, you see art in everything.
