Review of Run & Jump (2014) by Lyn — 13 Aug 2014
Perhaps I expected too much after seeing Will Forte in "Nebraska" -- amid all the tremendous acting and great characters in that movie, he was the winsome heart of it. In this one, his presence barely registers.
He heard about this guy who had a stroke (we don't know how), he decides to chronicle the case for posterity (we don't know why) and he lives with the family while making his observations (we don't know what).
I agree with the reviewer who said that the fascinating issue of how to love someone who's fundamentally changed by stroke goes largely unexplored. The lead actress, who looks like Julianne Moore, is appealing, if hard to believe.
(Family's shattered and yet she dances while doing housework.
