The Dark End of the Street

Do yourself a favour, please don't watch it. It will save you an hour of your life. Ignore the high ratings.

So grateful I came upon this little gem, totally by luck. In a nutshel everthing that a good movie has to give without some absolutely top notch fantastic plot. It is all about character development, each more interesting than the other. So get a beer and enjoy every minute.

It starts with a tragedy, but it's 'the day in the life' of this neighborhood, a little piece of what's going on, with one thing that's effected everyone. I thought the acting was great and characters were relatable. There was one scene I had to look away, but it didn't end up being as gruesome as I expected. Very low-key, actually kind of sweet movie. Thanks Kevin Tran! Hope to see more from you.

My cat fell asleep, probably more entertaining. The script was messy.

The Dark End of The Street is a film that will remind those who grew up in the suburbs of a simpler time. Told through the lens of multiple characters and families in a small town, the film slowly but surely intertwines each narrative to each other. Never in a forced way, but in a subtle and realistic way. By the end of the film you have a strong sense of each character, regardless of how much screentime they got. Strong debut film, certainly a film maker worth watching.
