Review of Rocket Science (2007) by Ikhlas H — 03 Oct 2008
A Neurotic Anti-Love Story, this film is simply astounding, in my opinion. The acting is top notch as well as the soundtrack, writing, editing, and photography. This deeply personal film has many fine moments, both hysterically funny and painfully revealing.
Because it refuses to be predictable--even in the final moments--I believe it will stand above other films of this genre. A well chosen score will keep it from becoming dated. It's never glib towards a range "bent" characters, and chooses to leave the smart remarks for the characters and not the film itself.
Despite the subject of repressed anger and expressed rage, there's a sweetness that avoids the sentimental.
