Avalanche

Came across this movie after diving into Indie movies recently. I was impressed by the cinematography and acting, the writing was funny but slow at times. It can't be hard to set up a whole movie in one location, though. I ended up googling "one-location" movies after watching this one and loved some as much as this one.

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.

Shocked to see the score on this movie -- I liked it, you know. I think the "not a smasher guy" was onto sumthing. It's not for everyone, I get that, but it has things in it that everyone can enjoy. Patience. It's not a super hero movie. And I thought the first half was slow, but when you get to the end, it's like it all comes together. Like it all makes sense. You get this full feeling and you like and hate the characters all at once LOL

Funny, engaging, genuinely good performances by everyone but Gideon Emery as Greg was the one that stood out the most to me. And no, I'm not just saying that because he's naked, sexy, and super buff in this (though that's definitely a plus). His comedic timing is very good and he's also very good at playing the nuances of Greg. The 2 issues I had with the movie were the dialogue being a bit cheesy/predictable at times and the pacing, as it felt like the movie dragged towards the end. But overall I still enjoyed it, for a low budget indie movie I was pleaseantly surprised with what they achieved.
