Review of Heights (2005) by Ian H — 11 Mar 2009

I had never heard of this film but it was recommended to me by my on-line DVD service based on what I rented, so I thought I'd give it a go. And I am glad I did.

Following one day in the life of a number of people in New York, Diana and her daughter Isabel in particular [everyone else is linked to them], while the plot is nothing too unusual, the performances by all are simply so superb and heartfelt [showing forth and recalling the passion Diana demanded of her acting class at the beginning], that I was hooked. By the end, I had been taken on a most exciting adventure, and was sad to see that it ended -- I could've kept watching. But then there is something to be said to leaving the future to the imagination.
