Eddie.

The lead actor is talented, but the story itself feels weak, and the main character's motivation isn't very convincing. I appreciate the simplicity of the story at the start and how it develops, but it could have been much more heartfelt if the writer had spent more time fleshing it out. There are too many plot holes that detract from the overall experience. However, the worst aspect isn't the story-it's the cinematography. The camera work is subpar, as if they used a cheap camcorder instead of a high-quality camera like a RED. They zoom in unnecessarily, and the grainy visuals in many scenes are distracting. The inconsistency in the film's aesthetics is so jarring that it significantly diminishes the film's quality. The director should take this as a lesson for future projects: invest in a better cinematographer and equipment.

Enjoyed this film but not sure why

It's honest film making, made with love and ideas Explores loneliness, desire, desperate in some places doesnt try to be profound It's diverse, which is nicely done and well done

Also it was engaging and good use of closeups and the atmosphere of dusty desert country with some lovely and imaginative composition, without being over done.

Breaking bad, Paris Texas, Chicken... not sure but will definitely think about it - for a bit

I would say a good watch and well done to the director, thank you - enjoyable watch with some uncomfortable scenes that I cant explain - that's a good thing I think.

With uber-low budgets and inexperienced casts & crew, some film-student films should stay in film school, like dull blue-collar drama "Eddie" from first-time writer / student Dylan Grey Martin. Titular old convenience store owner Joseph Miller leads a sad & lonely life (as shown in tediously sluggish detail) until in a moment of fate and critical decision-making he crosses paths with chronically broke dad Ross Rebennack... and something interesting actually happens, before the whole thing descends back into amateur melodrama (with the likes of junkie James Timphony). So poorly acted & written, if this represents the future of film then the industry's in trouble.
