Review of Towelhead (2008) by James R — 28 Aug 2008
Alan Ball, the creator of "American Beauty" and "Six Feet Under" delivers a film that presses all the buttons . . . with a sledgehammer! Sometimes funny and more times icky, "Towelhead" is a letdown about: coming-of-age, child abuse, race relations, sexuality, dysfunctional Arab and American families, and assimilation.
The film is well-crafted and there are some memorable performances, but this film is too shrill for its own good. Don't pay for this one.
