The ending feels rushed which is a bummer given how good Julianne Moore's performance and character arc. I agree this is such a confident work from JGL, even the repetitive sequences actually works efficiently here, there's certainly a distinct style to his direction. Very promising work indeed.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-64929781557713321372013-09-29T14:38:28.965-04:002013-09-29T14:38:28.965-04:00It's a damn fun flick.

I fully enjoyed myself for its duration but I guess after having watched Enough Said (and I really owe you a debt of thanks for turning me onto Holofcener's work in the first place, so thanks!) which I felt was a much more honest and naturalistic portrayal of a relationship, this one just fell flat in comparison. maskofgojirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305737005899440472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-81140322712235054912013-09-28T00:03:47.621-04:002013-09-28T00:03:47.621-04:00I'm going to see this on Sunday as I'm ver...I'm going to see this on Sunday as I'm very excited to see this.

I thought the directing and writing was confident for sure, and the acting was great (though I think Julianne Moore stole the show) but the entire thing just didn't live up to what I expected. I definitely give props to JGL for doing this all himself and for a first go it's not bad, but aside from actually being about something and having good performances, it didn't really do anymore for me than another romantic comedy has done. Good review though good sir. maskofgojirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305737005899440472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-6748156165384832822013-09-27T16:00:40.971-04:002013-09-27T16:00:40.971-04:00Honestly, I was having a great time with this movi...Honestly, I was having a great time with this movie and liked everything, until it got to its last-act. Then, that's where I felt like JGL didn't know what to do with the head of steam that he built up to that point. That said, I can't wait to see what he's got next in terms of writing and directing, because the dude's a heck of a talent, and can practically do anything. Song, dance, act, direct, write, make love, etc. You name it! Good review my man.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.comnoreply@blogger.com
