Blue Night

The only good thing in this movie were SJP's high-heeled, ankle-strap shoes. The end.

Great cast kind of seen where the movie was going then they lost it about a quarter of the way in. Basic overview SJP cruising around NY after finding out some heavy news then it's her kinda just not talking about the worst news to anyone, then it ends... Just like that.

I really like this movie, is a melancholic movie, sad, and reflective it is slow, and it could have different readigns, it reflects in a stressful way what the lead character is going through I understood what Sarah Jessica Parker whas trying to communicate, because all the movie is run by her and the way she expresses emotions. Could be that you have to be in a certain place in life to understand this movie and feel connected to the character. I like it, is not a movie for entertainment, is a movie to reflect. There were a lots of cliches of artistic movies, but that is fine with me.

My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library.

This movie has received a number of very bad reviews and very low ratings, which are NOT deserved at all. It in fact is a very good movie to do what it sets out to do. It is a character study of a female singer who seems a bit past her prime, then gets some very upsetting health news. The movie follows her for almost 24 hours, interacting with family and friends, reluctant to tell any of them what is going on.

One will like this movie if they are a Sarah Jessica Parker fan, who now is in her early 50s. She plays Vivienne, a professional singer. Divorced, she has a 16-yr-old daughter who lives with Viv's ex-husband. The movie is not dynamic, in fact often there are reasonably long pauses, we are supposed to identify with the terror that surely must be going through her mind.

We only hear her sing a couple of times, quiet nondescript songs. I was surprised when I looked at her bio and found she had a lot of early musical theater experience, even playing the lead in Annie at one point. So she is probably a better singer than is shown in this movie.

The movie is made in a particular style. I would probably behave in the same as SJP if i am told I have a good probability of having a malignant brain tumor. The movie perfectly captures the emotions of person who realises that they have been selfish all their lives and now need seek support from them. SJP does an excellent job in capturing those emotions. Worth a watch.
