Review of Everything Is Illuminated (2005) by Rafiq U — 21 Aug 2010
A good film with good performances all around, Elijah Wood doesn't really speak but he has entertaining reactions. Eugene Hutz is awesome in this movie, very entertaining. The film starts off as a comedy and at that it is very funny but quickly turns serious and becomes a drama and at that it is very depressing.
I have to admit, there's nothing really wrong with the film, though it did depress the hell out of me, however nothing really happens in the film, when something does happen it's engaging, but you get a lot of those art house, long takes with no one saying anything, so it kind of wrecks the pacing.
Otherwise, definitely a memorable film.
