Review of The Guatemalan Handshake (2006) by Generoso F — 24 Jan 2010
Although this indie starring Will Oldham starts off interesting enough, adept visuals setting up the more bizarre aspects of a small town's inhabitants, the let down is only moments away. That kind of letdown that some American independent films pride themselves on, it's straining of content for it's surrealistic comedic elements that seem uncommercial but what you end up with is simply a film that excels at being quirky for quirky sake.
It's character's so one dimensional they lend nothing to it's paper thin storyline.
