Prayers for Bobby (2009)
Over dramatised, heart–strings puller. Good story that needs to be told, but a bit preachy and preaching to the converted I suspect.
Humpday (2009)
Real characters who find themselves in an awkward position (pardon the pun). Low budget, "Will they, won't they?", "Why, why not?" sharply observed farcical slice of life.- DVD $14.95
Private Romeo (2011)
Style over substance. Starts off slow and then, well, doesn't really go anywhere. You know the story, but I wanted to stop watching it cause I simply didn't care what happened.
I Killed My Mother (J'ai tué ma mère) (2009)- "chronic self–absorption" describes it really well, given that Dolan wrote, produced, directed and starred in it. Annoying!
Harvest (Stadt Land Fluss) (2011)
Harvest is embedded with a slow and unfolding beauty that is mesmerising. It has an almost mystic quality that, despite being devoid of any grand climaxes, grabs you completely. rn
Happening, The (2008)
The central idea is a good one, but it fails on all other counts; plot, execution, performance. It's eye–rollingly rubbish.
Elephant (2003)- Beautiful and clever movie. I recongnise all of the characters from my high school. Not really a violent movie, the shooting is very matter of fact and emotionally detached, just like the games the young men play. Watch it more than once.
Summer Storm (Sommersturm) (2004)- Gay teen angst, some tender moments, but a bit contrite with disjointed subplots.
Broken Hearts Club, The (2000)- The story of a group of friends, love, betrayal, and moving on. Funny, sad, accomplished.
Trick (1999)- Feel good movie, funny, romantic, smart. Watch out for Miss Coco Peru.
