Title: Stay Away From The "Bedroom"!
Review: Having become a new fan of Andre Dubus's writing I rented this movie having high expectations from all the Oscar hype a few years ago.How could this movie ever been nominated for anything? First of all the length: This story was at the most a 90 minute movie, but was dragged out to near 2 and a half hours. Watch the beginning to get the gist of the story, then FF the first 45 minutes. You won't miss a thing.The director was trying to be artsy by subjecting us viewers to scene after scene after scene of the dead boy's parents being reminded of his former existence. Then after they kill his killer and the movie gets interesting, it's over. I really wanted to know what would happen after that. If you're having problems with insomnia, this is the cure for you!Question: In the end titles there was a sort of In Memory of Andre Dubus III 1938-1999. I didn't know he was dead. He appeared in "House of Sand and Fog" as an actor which was filmed in the early 2000's.(???)
Is the review positive or negative?
