A Relative Thing (2003)

Review by NewSlang_34

A Relative Thing

5/10

An Average Drama, if too devastating

While I agree with the reviewer below, (the acting was top notch, especially Marie Rubin) I found the pacing of the film incredibly and awfully slow. They could of edited this film way better!!! The cinematography was excellent, if boring at times. The story was, well, depressing and sappy at times. I could see this being bought as an Lifetime TV film, for thats what it feels like. It never really lets up.Its not intense, but its just depressing. The film really doesn't try to catch your attention, and lags. In the beginning it starts really cheerful and you think it is going to be a family film. Then it goes through not one, but two turns for the worse. Then there is family drama of the past thrown in and the current drama mixes together and your end for a long movie. At least it haves a bittersweet ending.
