I watched into this movie without any expectations or knowledge, and that may have ended up being a good thing. The life of Chuck is a breath of fresh air for filmgoers: inventive and fresh, with heartfelt performances that make this a simple and beautiful drama about people - and I loved that. The actors amazed me with the depth they showed. I don't want to say anything about the movie or the performances to give any bit of it away - the biggest pleasure in this movie is the discovery of all these ideas, people and things you hadn't thought about before entering the movie theater. It's a wonderful experience, and I hope you love it as much as I did.

During most of Strange Darling, I felt like I was being taken for a ride - nothing particularly unexpected was happening. AND THEN the pieces started falling in place, and I couldn't take my eyes off of it! What seemed like a cheesy narrative device (you're informed right off the bat that the film is in 6 chapters), is your best friend when things start not making sense.

I recognized the lead actor from previous films, but not the lead actress. But both really went for it in their scenes - which is great since a lot of the movie is just the two of them. And what a great pleasure to see Ed Begley Jr. And Barbara Hershey (she is having kind of a comeback, I think); both are a delight, and play key roles. But the director/writer gets the lion's share of credit for coming up with an ingenious script, and following through with it as director. What a ride!

I knew very little about this movie before sitting down to watch it, I saw a trailer a while back and made a mental note to check it out. I. So happy I decided to watch it. You can't help but enjoy the performances of the two leads, it's easy to believe that they are best friends by the camaraderie they share. Excellent job by the actors - I didn't know either of them, but can't wait to see what they do next. Their bond is the backbone of the story - along with a great per by a young lady (also unknown to me) - combined, these actors take you back to the 1990s, and revisit a slightly more innocent time. There is a lot of fun with period references, but if you don't know them you still enjoy the ride.

There is a bit a formula in the script, but really, it just plain works. I was not the only person in the audience who was laughing out loud many, many times, and then wiping aside tears at extremely moving final scenes. This movie is one that is worthy of your time - don't miss it.
