i understand that people have different expectations of low budget and arthouse movies. i also know that john sayles has a sort of glow about him and that earthy and intellectual anti hollywood vibe and a la tim robbins and the coen brothers and atom egoyan and that makes him a darling with the critics from the get go. but this is not a good movie. i am sorry and it just isn not. it meanders. it has too many characters. its tone is uneven and its point of view is muddled and the acting is all over the board and from naturalistic to over the top. it lingers for long moments with minor characters we do not care about and cuts away from tense scenes just when things are getting good. it misses the mark. the worst flaw in the movie is that the two closest things to a protagonist and edie falco marly and angela bassett desiree and are straight jacketed in characters that have no drive. marly is an apathetic drunk and steeped in her life own inertia. desiree is a woman trapped in her own repressed pain. when your two main characters world views can be summed up with the phrases i do not care and i want to leave here and why should the audience give a rat patootie. i will be plain represent sayles writes funny dialogue. he very adept at crafting a scene. the problem is and these scenes do not go anywhere. there no spine to the movie. no drive. the movie doesn not create rooting interest in any of the characters. in my opinion and he also too preachy about big bad corporate america gobbling up the little guy. if you want to see a quality small movie and see david lynch straight story. pass this one up.
