Review of The Guatemalan Handshake (2006) by Curtis L — 31 Aug 2008
Viewed 9/1. This idiosyncratic film falls into a specific spot on the Indie Americana Venn diagram -- basically where "All the Real Girls," "Napoleon Dynamite," and "Gummo" meet one another.
The high quirk factor may be cloying to some, and the film isn't especially careful in its use of race, but there are plenty of arresting moments here, and Sheila Scullin gives a knockout performance.
