Review of For Ellen (2012) by Keith Uhlich for Time Out — 03 Sep 2012
Unfortunately, Kim nearly wrecks the film's observational acuteness with a climax that shamelessly steals from Bob Rafelson's classic blue-collar drama "Five Easy Pieces," and this faux-gut-punch finale feels haphazardly sutured on rather than arrived at organically.
Guess that ham-fisted opening shot was a sign of things to come.
