Sparrows Dance

This was the worst movie ever it had the worst ending none of it made any sense the woman was crazy the man was crazy the whole movie was just crazy I wasted an hour watching it I should have not wasted it.

A superb little movie that Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to make.

Simply put, it's about an agrophobic young woman who meets the plumber that comes to fix her toilet.

The best thing about the movie is the delicate dance that plays out between the two leads and the director. The characters seem very normal, even though they have differing characteristics. Conversation flows and we learn everything about our characters very organically.

It's quite short (about an hour and twenty minutes) and the ending fits the feel of the movie perfectly.

Why don't they make romantic movies anymore? This made me pine for yesteryear.

The star of this movie is the cinematography! Every frame is perfectly arranged to create a wonderfully composed picture that relates to the subject of the action taking place. This was my first observation when I started watching this marvelous film.

The story is easy - an agoraphobic recluse lets a man (the outside world) into her life. As she progresses to the point where she is willing to allow herself to relate to him and eventually leave her apartment is reflected in the very items and arrangement in each scene. There is a marvelous scene when the camera is pulled back and you can see the staged set. The divide between him and her cannot be more clearly stated and then the divide is crossed - her big challenge has begone!

For art cinema lovers this film is a must see! Bravo!

This is not your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. It is obviously a low budget film, but it lacks nothing a higher budget film might have. It is actually a plus that the movie was frugal.

The characters were played well and the chemistry worked. The movie seemed to go quickly although the story was a slower pace. I enjoyed watching it, but was disappointed when the movie seemed to end prematurely.

If you want lots of laughs and occasional silliness, check out a Paul Rudd movie or something. This movie is serious and is based solely in dialog.

Some movies you see and wonder where the writer came up with the idea. Sparrows Dance rings with the authenticity that the screenwriter has a lot of the problems that the protagonist has.

Slow moving, slow building.

An ultra-low budget flic but ultra-high quality work by the two actors and the director and cinematographer.

Fascinating to watch the main character struggle with her agoraphobia. One of those issues, if you don't have it it's hard to imagine it.

At the end of the movie when she goes to the cupboard - well, I won't tell you what happens but watching it I didn't know what she would do.

Worth watching.
