Review of The Shipping News (2001) by Brian S — 22 Jun 2008

Not really enough to this one, I felt. beautiful Newfoundland scenery and music and some impressive acting, but the story itself seemed to lack a certain something. the overall journey of self-discovery and the seeking for a second chance just didn't have that connecting link to pull me in.

I felt like an uninformed outside observer with knowledge of only a few details. still an entertaining film, it just wasn't QUITE a complete package.
