Review of Schultze Gets the Blues (2003) by Alysia V — 04 Jun 2010

This is a film with very little dialogue. There were times when I thought I had accidentally muted the television because of the expansive silence. An extremely slow moving film that, at times, felt like I was looking at a still photograph.

Schultze is loveable & his discovery of zydeco music is sweet, but this movie just didn't go anywhere, for me. I found myself continually thinking, "surely this will get better... surely it will pick me", but it never did.

I could see as this film could be viewed as a very endearing story, but for me, I was left thinking, "huh.. is that it?".
