Review of Mutual Appreciation (2005) by James F — 06 Aug 2008

So 'mumblecore' then. Such a pretentious genre name for what is essentially a Dogma film in black and white. The movie however is awesome. I can see how some people would say this film is boring but it's whats going on underneath the surface which is so interesting.

The Mutual Appreciation (or non mutual as the case may be) is so well shown, and not at all forced down your throat. The things the characters do have such a reality to them as well, I felt I knew these people very quickly into the film.

I cant believe this guys first film is on tonight at 1.30 in the fucking morning!
