Wild Grass (2009)
4/10
Nice Scenery & Acting, But That's About It
4 March 2011
Warning: Spoilers
As stated in my summary, the scenery was nice and the acting was stellar by all involved. I watch a lot of foreign and indie movies and Wild Grass had a lot of both qualities. My complaint is that I felt the story rambled on too much. Halfway through, it lost focus. I'm no cretin, I like movies that have twists and all. But I felt some of the situations that the characters found themselves in could've been resolved more intelligently. The main character, an older gentleman, becomes obsessed with the woman (whose wallet he found) despite the fact that he's married with children (and grand-children.) The way he goes about getting her attention is to call her up at all hours of the night, write her evermore disturbing letters and ultimately slash the tires on her car. Can you say "STALKER!?!" And what was with the ending? Or even the title for that matter? Nonetheless, I respect the director's work.
