Review of Alex of Venice (2015) by Jon C — 14 Nov 2015
An impressive turn from both Mary Elizabeth Winstead and first-time director Chris Messina.
In the city of Venice, California Alex is living her life but a number of issues arise for her; she's divorced from her husband, her father is losing his memories, her sister is a tad immature, and she has to take care of her son by herself.
We learn though that we can still fight for what we love even though it seems to be falling apart.
Winstead feels just like a real woman with real-life problems.
Somewhat sluggish but lifelike enough.
It's a shame though Messina isn't in the film that much, to be fair though it is Alex's story with her fragility being tested along with her strength to carry on.
