Avalanche

You have to admire indie filmmakers who often must rely upon good storytelling without all the bells and whistles that big studios have. Avalanche has done a great job of crafting an engaging drama/comedy all in just one location. It holds your attention and is cleverly plotted and executed. Actors were on point and I was thoroughly entertained throughout.

Really poor film. Bad acting from all apart from the main character, frustrating and such an anti climax. There are better films to spend a couple of hours watching.

I went into this one completely out of the blue - not knowing a thing about it, and found a movie that looks at infidelity in a way that I hadn't seen before. Production values are solid, as is the acting, especially by the husband/librarian character. Some character motivations and flashbacks could have been clearer, which I think would have helped the overall narrative and clarified character motivation. Also, I found some of the score to be a tad irritating in spots (intentional, perhaps?), but I enjoyed watching Avalanche unfold.

Its a triangular drama, and the partakers has to accept the realitys whether they like it or not. it basically a one location story, with 3 actors , one sneak peeking and hiding while viewing the surveillance cams he has placed around the house, and his girlfriend making out nwith a stranger, and dives into adultery in a swell of happiness.

its a basic product,but with good actors,who knows their lines and moves, and the filmographic quality and by viewing the daylight in the background tells me that there are some degree of profesionalism in the making of thie avelanche of broken trust and feelings.

its the kinda humour you either love or hate, i didnt like it but neither hated it.

i paid special attention to the music dept, with omri lahav behind the tangents and strings. he is an extremely gifted musician, that i got in touch with after viewing him at youtube, playing the theme songs from the pc game jazz jackrabbit on his electric guitar, that gave me goose bumps all over.

so if your in for a sublime sedat and a bit raunchy movie with some tiptoed comedy then the grumpy old man can recommend

The review on Critical Popcorn pretty much nails it. This is a smart, well thought out and extremely well acted film. Kudos to Savante, Withers and Emery for taking chances on a low budget independent film. The writer/director deserves credit for being brave enough to write something that we don't see much of anymore. A provocative, funny, extremely clever, artsy, dark comedy. Avalanche surprised and entertained me.
