Review of December Boys (2007) by Jon C — 01 Aug 2010

Some say this is a bland film, but I like to think of it as a quiet drama with no big happenings. The voice-overs are nicely placed, and this is a nice ensemble piece (even though Radcliffe is clearly the biggest name in the picture, he seems to fit right in with the rest of the cast).

Although it is not like most other movies and takes some getting used to [in terms of style and pacing], December Boys is a refreshingly quiet drama with none (or almost none) of the traps of bigger budget dramas.
