Review of Down in the Valley (2005) by Andy H — 12 Mar 2008
"Starts as a 10, ends as a 1" is a commonly used quote for this movie... and they're right. For the first 40 minutes or so, it's a masterpiece on psychological indie film with larger-than-life performances by Norton and the great Evan Rachel Wood along with a nice role for a grown-up Rory Culkin... but after a while, it starts going down into a spiral of melodramatic performances and stupid situations (Norton on acid?!)... or was it a surreal film? I never figured it out but it was a disappointment for what looked like a masterpiece to me... lucky for me, Evan.
Rachel Wood will marry me no matter what! :-).
