Review of Avalon (1990) by Lawrence O'toole for Entertainment Weekly — 19 Apr 2015
The movie is the visual equivalent of a stranger picking out highlights from his family album and providing brief descriptions of them. Everything that happens in Avalon, be it happiness or trauma, is infused with the same tone.
The result is test-pattern emotion; everything’s on the same level. There’s no discrimination and, hence, no drama.
