Review of Avanim

Avanim (2004)
2/10
Execrable bore
10 March 2013
Many Euro films, especially, and others, like Avanim, have no idea what it takes to make a good movie--a good STORY. The absolutely MUST be a plot, which is something other than tracing a characters moods. This movie is tedious, belabored, self-indulgent. It takes way too long for the dramatic shift to occur and the main character, whose life, feeding her child, for example, is studiously documented, listlessly drifts from scene to scene without the viewer having an emotional latch to grab. The script is really nothing but an agenda, and tho the movie has pretty good "documentary" style acting, but it ain't enuf: first things first: STORY.
