Review of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) by Reed W — 27 Dec 2008

So, I guess I'm kind of going against the grain here but I did not care for this at all. I can usually handle long takes. In fact, I usually appreciate a long take. However, when the film is 80% long takes, it gets to be a bit much.

I felt like this was just a really well made amateur home movie. The acting was fine and I enjoyed the characters, but it just seemed to go nowhere fast. I don't need something to be happening at all times, but I'd appreciate something every once in a while.

The fact that 2 minutes of a 10 minute long take was a character sitting in a chair with the same facial expression kind of made me antsy and bored. I guess this just wasn't my film.
