Review of Among Ravens (2014) by Ryan H — 19 Jul 2014

Ok, I think the reviews thus far a very true, but they lack real thought. In a culture where everything has to be bombastic and gimme gimme gimme now now now, you have to slow down for this film. It's not a film for a Friday romp.

It's a film for a slow Sunday. It's a film to relax to. All the characters are unique, and all very selfish, very human, and very normal actually. Critics don't like this film because the characters are not that likeable, in fact boring.

But there is an undercurrent of America that shines forth in this film. Wealth and happiness, boredom, self-identity, parenthood, quirky personalities, and new age confusion. This is a film to feel normal to.

And what's wrong with that? It's got more depth than it's being given credit for. I saw it and thought it was a lovely take on a modern family. The ravens are amongst us. The critics that is.

Don't believe the hype, decide for yourself.
