Floored by Love (2005)
endearing, but not convincing
Saw it at the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Fest.
What can I say? Against my better judgment, I liked it, but it seemed to me that that acting was a little...weak (mostly I noticed this from the family of the teen boy). I mean, the script wasn't stellar to begin with, but the actors didn't make me believe the relationships.
The plot is also predictable.
Nonethelss, I liked it. The characters are likable, and the plot is not challenging or upsetting. It's sweet, the characters care about each other, and I don't count it as fifty minutes ill-spent.
But I don't recommend it.
Wilby Wonderful (2004)
quiet, well spoken, well acted
Saw it at the Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
The other reviewers have really done a good job giving various views of the plot, but what no one has mentioned yet is how well silence is used in this film, and this is something I love about this movie. As much is said with subtle body language and periods of silence as is said with words. Also, it seemed to me that a good deal of the dialogue had double-meanings, which makes for good mind candy.
I would also say this is right on the border of being an art-film, but I wouldn't say it actually makes it into art-film territory.
I loved it, will watch it again, and will probably buy the DVD, although it wasn't as laugh-out-loud funny as I expected, and would recommend it to pretty much anyone who has ever enjoyed a quiet movie.
