Review of Iodine (2009) by Jim M — 04 Nov 2011
John Clem (Mike Stasko) heads North to find his father at the behest of his sister, and meets his fathers college Avery (Ray Wise). Along the way he engages intense philosophical conversations with Avery and romances a member of his support group (the lovely Vicki Rivard)...
...oh yeah and he forgets to take his meds. See despite the premise the story's really about some crazy dude going off his meds and doing a half assed job of looking for his father. Don't get me wrong Parry Sound is a great backround for a film and I understand Mike Stasko was forced to write/direct/produce/act/edit because this is an indy production, and Ray Wise is excellent but the film spends too much time with the crazy dude. And like a lot of movies with this feel (metaphysical/philosophical) it seems to think its smarter then it is. Ultimatly I can't really recommend this film.
