Review of December Boys (2007) by Parakram Y — 02 Aug 2008

I don't know if you have to be a boy to get this movie, or what, but for me, it was just really flat. I didn't have high expectations going in, but I was curious to see DR in something different. For the direction the movie took, he was quite good, but even in the "intense" spots there wasn't much energy. I think he put it out, it just didn't come across well because the whole thing was dampened down quite a bit.

The story had quite a bit of potential to come across as deep, thought-provoking and engrossing. Too bad, really.
