The Music Box

Patrick Sheridan is excellent as Noah in this adaptation of the award winning screenplay "CiviliTEA" by Joey & Amber Kent. The addition of a music box as a focal element of the couple's unease with society and their growing need for hallmarks of civility is a nice touch. The movie is well lit and the sound quality is fine. The ending could have gone to greater lengths to convey the situation Noah is facing when he leaves their home, and drive home the need for "civility" under the given circumstances. All in all, though, this is a well executed movie and it is no wonder it received a first place finish at the 2012 Phenom Film Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana.
