Review of Prince Avalanche (2013) by Naomi R — 09 Aug 2013

A wonderful, subtle film. Quiet, funny, serious, meditative, and just a bit noisy in a few places. An observation of two middling-not-exactly-young men working the isolated job of painting yellow center lines on lone highways in the Texas outback who still are missing a lot of clues about life and love.

It might appear to be a comedy, but there's real depth and poignancy in this character study. And the sparse forest setting and evocative score to this movie are important parts of the overall production.

Kudos to Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch for great acting - they really carry the film. If you are an action buff, skip this, but if you like stories about the yearnings, wants, and sometimes inherent silliness of life, do see it.
