Review of Color of a Brisk and Leaping Day (1996) by Chris Z — 31 Jan 2009

I really wanted to(and expected to) like this movie a lot more than I did. Yeah, some very cool cinematography, but the acting really didn't hit the right notes I don't think. At points it was really good, but the characters were just uneven, some scenes were emotionally spot-on, and the others were totally bizarre.

Ant there was all this weird sexual tension going on that was totally out of place or not intended or something that had nothing at all to do with the story, pretty distracting, unless it was supposed to be part of the film which I don't think it was at all.

Like weren't they supposed to be brother and sister? Weird. Miachael Stipe was actually really good though, so big props there. The narration, gah! A very worthy effort, but just too clumsy I thought.
