Review of This Must Be the Place (2011) by Grant S — 22 Mar 2013

Good start, confusing middle, dull ending. Set up was interesting, and you feel that it could lead to something profound. However, it takes off on a random tangent at some point and never regains its focus, or sense of profundity. Many red herrings though, and dead ends.

Sean Penn plays the role he was required to play, but I am not sure I care too much about the character. Decent performances all round though.

Also, as much as I like Talking Heads' "This must be the place", there are just so many versions you can hear, by various artists and actors, before you are irritated by the song...
