Review of The Band's Visit (2007) by Dana A — 29 Nov 2009
This was adorable and such a wonderful story. Loved all the characters and the music. Great acting, story and such a simplistic yet well directed movie. Features some superb moments of bonding between characters.
It really shines through in the delicate dialogue and fragile emotions of the characters. An incredibly charming film, and a pure delight to watch. Comedy goes from slapstick to subtlety without notice, and to drama and sadness just as easily and back again.
Sure we don't get what the usual audience would want out of the final story, but it matters not at all. The pay off in this film is so thoughtful, and so touchingly done, what seemed preferable before seems cheap now.
This is a great movie.
