Review of Texasville (1990) by Ken S — 05 Mar 2016
One of Peter Bogdanovich's earliest successes was adapting the novel "The Last Picture Show" into a very good coming of age film in the New Hollywood era. Years later he and many of the original cast returned to adapt the sequel to that book, "Texasville.
" It is not as cohesive a story, it meanders too much with no real focus or theme (other than mid-life crises and everyone being an adulterer I guess)...and it just isn't that good really, despite some great performances.
Bridges is great, Shepherd is good...Annie Potts is really good in this (she is really an underrated actress)...I just never connected with this one. It felt very average, even without the comparison to the first film, this just felt like a movie with no purpose.
