Title: A Film for Some of Us
Review: I don't know for whom the film was intended nor which audience it is actually gratifying. Certainly it is not for everyone. Technically, it is a fine demonstration of what can be done today to make a large screen shimmer with all the action of a three ring circus. The acting is suitable to the theme and the characters involved in the story, "live" and "robotic". Given the film literacy of the creators, many sources are acknowledged within the film and many more are knowingly alluded to; this is not plagiarism, it is fair use in maintaining traditions as well as seeking to give them a fresh look and thus perpetuate them. Perhaps, it should be made a family viewing project so that various differing perspectives can be brought to bear to elicit meaning from the film. Just don't make it the only film available for the evening so that it is a case of watching it or nothing.
Is the review positive or negative?
