Review of Grace Is Gone (2007) by Gerard B — 02 Feb 2018
An utterly depressing film which mawkishly milks the death of a loved one for all its worth. For one and a half hours, all it's about is a man who can't bring himself to tell his children that their mother is dead. Yep, that's it. The budget for this one must have been about $100 (for the petrol?) because there's no relief from scenes of this anonymous little family driving around aimlessly whilst daddy tries to pluck up the courage to tell the kids what happened. The films' relentlessly heart rending music attempts, it seems, to ensure every.
Emotion is drained from the viewer just to make its point. Reminds me of my candidate for worst film of all time. What Dreams May Come, starring Robim Williams.
