Undescribable Perfection
Please don't spend money on this.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
i watched TisT at the Annapolis film festival last year.this film is an excellent return to strong story and character development. it is clearly an example of less is more. i hope to get an early view at this writer/producer's next work. it's not every day that you to stumble across a film like this. i didn't know anything about this film going into the festival but know they are on my radar. it just blindsided me.it made me excited to be an actor. and i'm going to get my headshot/resume to their office.wash DC
Great acting. Scout plays a compassionate character. She and Mark Hefli have great chemistry. He's convincing as someone who is lost, both spiritually and physically. Ken Arnold is definitely an actor to watch for. He's very convincing as Scout's father and shares her empathy for Mark Hefli. The cinematography alone is worth watching. I love the shots at the beach. Good choice of shots. They really help show you what's going on beneath the surface. The story is compelling. It keeps you wanting to see more. The music definitely helps enhance the mood of the film. I would recommend it for anyone who appreciates a good movie that is character driven. There was hardly a dull moment. The suspense of how Scout and Mark Hefli will resolve Mark's fight with the past keeps you want to see more of the film. It's like an Altman film where everything is connected, and you realize it by the end of the film how.
This movie generously portrays the depth of the human spirit and what is possible when one human being moves beyond what is expected of them and fulfills on what is possible for them.The acting is well done and the cinematography aptly captures the moods and spaces that each of the characters moves through on their way to the gripping finish.Though I have not seen work from most of these actors before and the director is new to me, I can only see bright futures for all of them.My only problem with the movie is the attempt to trivialize some aspects of the class struggle looming just beneath the surface in our society.
I saw this film at the Annapolis Film Festival in 2006. It was very well acted, directed, and shot. It's amazing to me that films like this don't seem to find their way to audiences, while there are 800 sequels coming out each year...and countless retreads of 70's and 80's TV shows. It's amazing what Frederic Lumiere has done on an independent budget. I'd like to see what he could do with Fox or Warner or Dreamworks backing him! And the cast was excellent. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of Scout Taylor-Compton in the coming years. I also enjoyed the performance of Ken Arnold, who played her father. Very subtle and understated. Great work. Great film. Thank you.
