Review of Picture Claire (2001) by Lana D — 30 Dec 2004

:fresh:

Since [I]Picture Claire[/I] did not receive any publicity, I just happened to stumble across this gem, and lucky I did, too. [I]Picture Claire[/I] is now one of my all-time favorites. Juliette Lewis and Gina Gershon are both spectacular, delivering outstanding performances (I'm a big fan of both actresses).

Synopsis? In only a few hours, Claire's (Juliette Lewis) life will take a drastic turn. Escaping a group of vengeful drug dealers, she flees to Toronto hoping to find Billy, the man of her dreams. But as the old saying goes, appearances aren't everything, and Claire is about to become entangled in a web of deadly secrets. Fighting against time and a case of mistaken identity, Claire must race to clear her name and get out alive.

I can't say that this movie is lacking in [I]any[/I] department. It's hard to find good movies today and even harder if you're looking for originality. So, I wanted originality, I got [I]Picture Claire[/I]. I must also note the score - the music is [I]unbelievable[/I]. Above all, I enjoyed the wonderful cinematography. Yeah, well, let's just say I loved [I]everything[/I] and make it easier. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend [U]NOT[/U] shoving [I]Picture Claire[/I] to the side. Hey, when at your video rental, pick up a copy. Enjoy! :).
