Title: Different from what I expected
Product review: This movie was different from what I expected. I thought it would be faster-paced; a little bit on the edge, perhaps a little controversial. It was none of these. Instead, "The Band's Visit" is a quiet movie, made great by terrific acting, both by the Israelis and by the Arabs. Each part was played to understated perfection. I also liked the way the director cast very ordinary looking people, some with less than great teeth or bodies, to be the stars of the movie. In addition, the people in this film seem weighted down by boredom, loneliness or both- just like in real life! But moments of real insight do occur, which make the movie touching and worthwhile. Watch this movie when you are in a reflective mood, and enjoy!
