Review of Prime (2005) by Dalem — 26 Nov 2006
Neither entertaining nor enlightening. Meryl Streep seems to be practicing for stock character parts in B-grade movies. What's sad is that the movie seems to think it has something to say, but you come away realizing it really had nothing to say.
The movie is essentially resolved by the deus ex machina of having the stock character of the "young artist" become an instant success. You never figure out how he learned to paint without any contact with the art world.
We have to assume he was just created to play a part in the movie just like all the other stock characters.
