Review of All the Real Girls (2003) by Steve M — 08 Jan 2004

(DVD) (First viewing, 1st Green film).

I'm really shocked at my reaction to this film. From everything I had read, I was positive this was going to be just up my alley. And now I've come away with a very mixed reaction. One one hand, the acting is superb and the scenario is admirably natural (the whole time I kept thinking "this is so real!"), but I also felt like it was so slight that it ended up being rather inconsequential in the end.

However, the more I think about it, the more I like it. Maybe when I wake up in the morning I'll love it, as sometimes movies like this need a good twelve hours to be fully digested.
