Who We Are Now

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

If you like a great story, great acting and a story that Is not a typical Hollywood, predictable, wrap everything up with a nice bow on it at the end, movie - then this is for you. Particularly excellent performances from Julianne Nicholson, Emma Roberts snd Zachary Quinto.

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.

Judgment is a monster that can scarcely be seen, much less fought. It cuts inward as well as outward.

Beth is on the rebound after a long prison sentence and attempting to regain custody of a young son from her sister. Jess provides discount legal counsel to those who otherwise could not afford it. Her antagonists include hot-headed clients, a haughty judge and, most notably, a disapproving mother. Peter is discovering that the war in Afghanistan was just the beginning of his world being turned upside down. Each character grapples with temper, temptation, the cruelty of others and the cold, vice-like talons of judgment. To get the results they deserve and achieve harmony from dissonance, Beth, Peter and Jess may need to lighten their reactions, or to strike fast and hard. Justice in any case is a fragile balance.

Who We Are Now is totally enthralling. It manages to be witty without being pretentious. The characters, aided by fine acting, defy expectations and are suitably multi-faceted and intriguing. The film offers profound insight into the American justice system as well as the human heart, the foundation and life line of the entire system. Underlying the film is the belief that we are capable of change. It will keep you thinking long after the screen dims.

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.
