Review of The New World (2005) by Steve — 16 Jun 2006

I fully expect to be told that the movie is "too smart" for me, but it is a poor experiment. It may be laudable art to write a movie where the dialogue is spoken emotion and secret thoughts, but it is painstakingly long and difficult to hear, let alone celebrate.

I found myself needing the closed captioning just to discern the mumbled tones. Calling something intelligent is far different than calling it worthwhile.
