Entanglement

Really enjoyed... not a typical Canadian Indie Flick.

Canadiana indie; recognized the pharmacist and the dad (they're ubiquitous in Canadian productions). Interesting story. Great acting by main character and sweet romance played out with caring neighbour. I actually didn't see where the story was going; thought it was clever.

I really quite enjoyed this movie. It gave me a feeling at times that the writing is a bit similar to Hal Harley. (Whatever happened to that genius anyways.)

I found much of this quite humorous and fun, and, I must say, I'd rather watch something like this, where the characters feel so real and vivid, than the latest $100 million dollar comic book turned movie fake action stupidity.

I guess maybe this movie isn't for everybody - and you'll probably enjoy it more if you're smart, and have learned about psychology - in an attempt to understand yourself and your messed up family, etc.

What I'm getting at is this will probably appeal best to people with a bit of self-awareness, and those people who aren't just like everybody else.

If you know what I mean.

Laden with phony dialogue & tired tropes straight out of an obnoxious/self-righteous 90s indie, this gangly, modern melodrama somewhat redeems itself for those with the fortitude to stick it out (much like its main character).

What's jarring about this film is how tremendously awful the dialogue is. People simply don't relate to each other in this manner at all. The fact that it's all unreal doesn't matter or make any of the tripe forgivable in any way. It's just a meandering mess of scenes where as time goes by you loathe each character more and more and want awful things to happen to them. These supposedly odd, quirky films rarely work, and only art house snobs rave about them. Annoying soundtrack. Crappy editing. Cringe dialogue. All the components are in place for an annoying yawn fest of a viewing experience. Skip.
