Review of Lazy Eye (2016) by Aldrin B — 26 Dec 2017
A realistic portrayal of the type of relationship many have had. Initially I wasn't expecting much at all (other than a short film to kill the time while waiting for a plane). After a view I was pleasantly surprised. In the end this movie is really just about love had, love lost, love maturity, life changes and leaning what is truly important.
Critically speaking I was disappointed the relationship back story of the characters wasn't developed a bit more. It seemed rather vague and shallow at times. Another issue I had was emphasis of "middle age" by the two main characters in their late thirties. Based on the initial trailer I was set for characters around a more mature middle age of fifty. The actors and plot play it well but for me being in my late thirties still being quite explorative. Maybe I was expecting more of a contemporary relationship mirror than a film on this point?
In event, as a package, I really enjoyed the feature, the story, actors, and setting. It's a real story that's contemplative, emotional and worth seeing again.
