Who We Are Now

A well told and acted story. Julianne Nicholson looks like a younger Shirley McLain does a good job.

When I page through my cable guide, I often check out a film that I have not known of before. They have to have high ratings on various review sites or a performer whom I appreciate. I had not heard of this, nor did the premise intrigue me, but when i saw Julianne Nicholson was the first named actor I immediately programmed the film. I was not disappointed. I have been a bigBigBIG fan since Law & Order: Criminal Intent. She is one of the most compelling actors working today. There is never a false moment in this performance (or any other that I have seen, for that matter). She played an unlikable character, that made you root for her even through the self-destructive behavior.

The other actors were fine but no one had more than a supporting role to JN's starring turn. On an side note, to the reviewer who waxed rapturously over Zachary Quinto's performance and said that it would have been a good movie if only it had been about him you have to understand that his role was NEVER going to be more than a peripheral one.

Nice little indie flick. I'm a fan of under rated Julianne Nicholson and it's nice seeing Jimmy Smits. I suppose this was a deep moving story but over my head. Every time I see Emma Roberts I think of who she is not her character, takes me out of the movie if you know what I mean.

When we think that the movie has been shot for good, a new guy comes along and shows that there is a lot to be shot. If you go to this movie and don't even think about popcorn because it doesn't match, you can't do two things at once. Take your water and get very comfortable because you will be taking a bump that will release you only after the end. And breathe, breathe first because during tb you can not, the levada is breathtaking. Not satisfied with making the point, the guy wrote, directed, and produced the movie. And it did well, a lot. Filming! It looks like Newton looked at Nicholson and thought, "I'm going to write her a character." And the actress, Nicholson, fit perfectly. She who is responsible for locking you in the plot and letting you land only at the end of the story. With an electrifying, magnetic interpretation of the skin. Goddamn actress! The driving is discreet and competent, at the same time jovial and intense. Unpretentious and effective photography, without losing the aesthetic beauty. No soundtrack, but the director puts him inside a jazz club just in time for the plot, the music that comes in seems like an oasis for us to redo in preparation for the genius end.

Check out!

Great film! An intelligent script interweaving several layers executed perfectly. Not one line out of place and not one orphaned moment to lose interest in. I think the ending was a little out of character but that's only a small blemish on otherwise captivating drama. I really enjoyed this - Love Your Work!
