Review of Lazy Eye (2016) by Joe L — 18 Jul 2016

I just saw this at a festival and was floored by the execution in every aspect of this movie. The script is smart and engaging, poignant, funny and realistic, working on many levels. The actors are amazing, absolutely believable over a span of fifteen years, and despite the small cast it never feels stagey, claustrophobic or forced.

It is brilliantly shot and gorgeous to look at, with production values that boggle the mind considering the budget, and apparently a very tight shooting schedule. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I was going to give it nine stars (just because, I guess) but thinking back on it as I write this, I can't think of any reason it doesn't deserve ten. Great film.
