Review of The Exploding Girl (2010) by Eric R — 10 Sep 2010
"The Exploding Girl' is a character study about Ivy, a college student, whom returns home for spring break to visit her friend, Al, and mother. The film follows their friendship,and how it adapts when Ivy's boyfriend from college kicks her to the curb.
The Exploding Girl does a pretty good job of giving us insights into Ivy's character through visual cues and subtlety but the director really doesn't change things up that much. I swear there were like 1000 shots of Ivy playing with her hands.
.. The film really just doesn't have enough going on for me, and I kinda grew tired of it, as it dragged along. This is only a 80 minute movie, so that's saying something. There is a lot to like in what the director does accomplish, and the actors are all pretty solid, it just never made it to the next level.
