Review of Rudderless (2014) by Grant T — 06 Jun 2015
I like drama, I like music, I like Billy Crudup. Perfect. Though a little predictable, I really liked this movie about a father dealing with the loss of his son.
Spoilers aside, a family is impacted by a campus shooting. The dad finds the recordings of his dead son and begins to perform those songs himself. There were predictable elements here and I'm not sure they needed to be. Or I think maybe some aspects hinted at something and then nothing came of it, so it's awkward.
That said, I thought Crudup and the kid who follows him were pretty solid. I think it could have been stronger without some of the predictability and if some of the other stuff had gone the direction I thought it was headed, but in all, this is a nice movie to watch.
