The Real Reel: Spiritual Edition (2023)
Funny and heartfelt comedy
This group of hysterically funny, yet seriously spiritual, influencers is charming!! Costa Rica is so beautiful and so are they. Join the fun, feel the relaxation of the jungle, the alterations of consciousness, the refreshing spray of the water, the bonds of friendships. It's like a New Age mocumentary - the movie Best in Show plus the Real World. It's hard to tell if it's a reality show or acting. These people need to meditate! Nevertheless, it makes me want to go experience Costa Rica (but not in a White Lotus kind of way). Take a little vacation with the Real Reel group. Maybe it'll be therapeutic. Laughter is the best medicine, right?
Feast of Love (2007)
Feast of Love nearly as good as the book!
I didn't realize until several scenes into the movie that I had read this book- one of the best in recent years- but several small things felt familiar. (I love the dogs!) Casting Morgan Freeman made the movie extra watchable but the original character wasn't quite as perfect. He's an insomniac who roams the neighborhood making observations. Feast of Love is a satisfying movie about real life. I disagree with the comments that people meeting & falling in love was too coincidental. People do meet those who live in the same neighborhood and move in the same social circles. We often don't realize the coincidences that occur. Like Nashville and other films, all the subplots are interesting and the characters flawed yet human. The filming of Portland is beautiful!!!
