Avalanche

An impressive blend of ridiculous comedy and melancholy. Indie comedy's are so hard to Pull off but if you're up for a quirky, off the wall and oddly endearing film then this is a decent choice, funny script, good performances and loved how the gags seem to overstay they're welcome at times, making it so much funnier.

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.

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

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.

You have to admire indie filmmakers who often must rely upon good storytelling without all the bells and whistles that big studios have. Avalanche has done a great job of crafting an engaging drama/comedy all in just one location. It holds your attention and is cleverly plotted and executed. Actors were on point and I was thoroughly entertained throughout.
