Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Tulsan At the risk of drowning from swimming against the tide, I can't agree with the rating on this film. My wife and I just stared at each other when it was over. In an attempt to be "artsy", the director used adulterated and convoluted time frames that only distracted the viewer. Actually, that was one of the things that kept my attention...trying to separate the scenes into past, present, and future. And his editing didn't help. There was way too much "dead air", again an ill-fated attempt at "artsy".Aside from those complaints, the film has redeeming value. Being from Oklahoma, I can tell you it was well researched. There were only two or three times that words/phrases appeared that are not native to this area (a feat seldom achieved by stories set in Oklahoma). It appeared that all the outdoor filming was done in Oklahoma, although not all in Kingfisher. I recognized several scenes filmed in other Oklahoma towns. Secondly, some of the acting bordered on brilliant. Acting that, if found in a better constructed film, would have been recognized by the industry. While I think the film is absolutely unworthy of it's rating, if you want to watch something that's a little out of the norm, with a good story line, and some good acting, and you don't mind a little depression, check it out.

SubPsych This is one of very few movies that I can actually say changed my life. There has never been any other film or work of art that has had such an emotional effect on me. Martha Plimpton and Nick Stahl are extraordinary; never have I cared so much for two fictional characters. And writer/director Tim Blake Nelson could not have possibly done better for his film debut. This is a movie you will never forget.

moses-11 I thought it was quite good. It gave me a feeling I haven't felt since I saw Sleepers. I loved the way the director overlapped scenes, and used flashbacks to tell the story. This is success where Pulp Fiction failed. All the characters were believable, and all the performances were good. In particular, I was impressed with the depth of emotion Nick Stahl portrayed without saying a word for the whole first half of the movie. Sometimes the ending you don't want makes the movie that much better.

Tetsel If you watch this film, you WILL be affected. Although the "mystery" of what happened to the boy is easily deduced about halfway through, it soon becomes apparent that that is not the purpose of the film. Many times a film like this will drag you along with implications of a "deeper meaning" and then end with the "revelation" of who the killer was. Luckily, this one was true to itself and its name "The Eye of God". Martha Plimpton is wonderful, being all too real and therefore all the more tragic. There is strong symbolism here with "consummation of a marriage" and "abortion/murder" and the innocence of children. It is tough to explain without being a spoiler, but for those of you who have seen it : what the "devil" gave her (in a significantly "proper" manner) also drained her of life, which she in turn does herself to someone (literally). Overall, I would rate this as one of the most compelling films of the last few years.
