Review of Creator (1985) by Kristen S — 01 Dec 2009

This is an overlooked gem of a little movie. even though some of the technical aspects are rough (the film was re-edited and the DVD is not in the original aspect ratio) and the aesthetic is only a little above a made-for-tv movie, none of those elements can distract from the strong script & performances.

this is one of those 'slice of life' movies that manages to get everything exactly right. the authenticity, humor, and pathos are never false. the story juggles questions of life, sex, god, and love in a stunningly believable manner.

you should seek this one out. BONUS: it was filmed at UCI!!
