Review of Chop Shop (2008) by Janice P — 29 Jul 2008
Ramin Bahrani does not disappoint. I loved Man Push Cart a lot so I was having a bit of "2nd feature jitters" when I went to see Chop Shop. But everything fell beautifully into place with this movie and it amazes me so much that this based-on-real-life setting is just a few stops away from my aparment! Gosh! But yeah, the minimalism totally worked for me and like with his unforgettable 1st feature, I loved how the ending is not really carved in stone.
.. it's up to the viewer to interpret...but you always know that no matter how bleak the situationed seem, the characters, like in real life, find some way to keep moving on =).
