Nipples & Palm Trees

I was not sure what to expect when I started to watch this independently made movie. I know from past experience that it is best not to prejudge and to 'tune in' to the experience that the film-maker is trying to create. I was pleasantly surprised as this one exceeded my expectations. This is a quite candid expression of a montage of relationships honestly constructed with multiple social connections that tell an entertaining story in a fascinating a clever manner. It was intriguing, really amusing and in my view takes the audience on a splendid journey, the perfect escape from a cloudy day. It certainly catered for the escapist in me and presents life of its characters in a colourful and insightful way. It is a really original piece of work and justifiably earns its stars.

Wow. Underated. Great writing, directing and acting.

This is that no budget sony handicam trash that people over 40 confuse high quality low budget indie movies with. It's utterly unwatchable. I'm sure of the maybe 1,000 people that have watched it, a dozen will claim this art house monstrosity is too intelligent or professional or artistic for others to understand.

It's not. It's crap. "Oh look it's my waist and my elbow why I talk. So artsy"

Fails to entertain on any level. Of the 226 review it has a 3.6 overall rating at the moment. And 3 super positive reviews before I drop this one. Meaning 222 people hated it so much it wasn't worth their time reviewing. But I didn't want anyone to be mislead by the three reviews of the parents of the actors. So avoid it. Unless you liked generation um and enjoy homemade movies.

I think the budget was tight and what was going nowhere kept going. In spurts of random cut always meant to have some kind of balance lost the progress that seemed to take place. I'm not a professional writer but making a movie has got to be tough. But this is tough to watch sorry. The cast was trying really hard but they seemed lost at times also

The newest entry in From The Depths, Nipples & Palm Trees is an indie sex dramedy about a sleazy guy who can't get over his on again off again Ex, so he wanders around town having a lot of undeserved sex. Its part of the month of love as I watch four mostly unknown films about love for the From The Depths reviews.

The main Issue have with this, is that it feels unrealistic. Like this is what the writer wishes would happen when you get obsessed with a woman, and try to get over her by wandering around having sex. Jackson, the lead is also very unlikable and somehow convinces women to do what he wants with lines like "You've got really nice tits." Works every time I guess. The movie plays out like a new age Gillette commercial, and never really goes anywhere at all. Like a slice of life style movie without the human interest part to it. In fairness, his ex is not a good person as she drags Jackson along in her dumb game. In fact, I wanted them to get together at the end to take them out of the dating pool for other people. Also, as a side note, the weird and bizarre sex, the synopsis talks about is group sex, a threesome, and rough sex...Those don't seem that weird.

Anyways, if you want to read my full review of this, head to my website. If not, I still think you're awesome.
