Review of Transatlantic Coffee (2012) by Andrew G — 14 Apr 2013

You seldom see movies that are this unpleasant. There are films that are far, far harder to watch... but this is still not one you put on to enjoy yourself - at least in my opinion. As many other viewers, I didn't understand much of the first half.

As the movie went on, it proved to be far more worth-while, in my opinion. The writing and direction is excellent in both. The pacing works well... I was never bored, and while it wasn't exactly a "good" time, it moved along as it should, never really too slow or too fast. The characters were incredible... the sheer amount of development... that's talent.

Certainly not a film for everyone. It's difficult to say who I'd recommend this to... cynics or realists with a strong threshold for some of the uncomfortable sides of life and behavior, I suppose....however, damn....it left me thinking, and you can't say that about most of the movies we all watch.
