Wordiezett So much average

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

foutainoflife Ok, I am a person who loves horror, suspense, thrillers, psychological and crime movies. I am such a lover that I will give just about anything a chance. I love a good slow burner. Something that I can really get drawn into and I was really hoping that this was going to be one. I am totally disappointed. The film is shot nice. The characters we all spot on in their performances but I can decide what this film was really supposed to be about. There were elements of tension in both stories. The young man trying to get a girl, so there is a lot of sexual tension and cat and mouse sorta being laid out between them. The old man concealing a murder, so there again, noticeable tension. Got it. So. Um. Where is the climatic moment of this movie? It just seemed to drag by for me. I totally hung in there though because I had hopes that everything would fall into place at the end. In all honesty, I was wanting to see the young man step outside and either see his uncle do something or be killed by mistake. So, when it ended I had to do a WTF look around. Look it is an okay movie but not a favorite. Check it out though. A lot of folks really seemed to like it but I just felt let down. I guess I fell victim to either hype or a lack of intelligence on my part.

thesar-2 I had an Uncle John once. He was rich and he bought us things. Until......Well, that's family drama and I probably best not lay it all out for you. THIS Uncle John is much different. At least, I hope.Two stories collide here. One: Title Character has to deal with both one dead bully and the deceased's brother. And two: a budding relationship in the workplace. Feel these don't belong together? Yeah, I agree.But, it works, nonetheless. Both intersect as said Uncle brought up the male-half of the couple. It's well-shot, acted, made and interesting. Is it horror? Not sure. Has horror elements, though - dead bodies, murder, cover-ups, police investigations, etc. I was kinda duped, though. I subscribe to SHUDDER, a "horror" channel via my Amazon Prime membership and I get a ton of my horror via that service. This was promoted on there and I'm always keen to new (to me) scary movies. It's not really horror - well, maybe 10%. Mostly it's a drama. And comedy. The other half story involving the couple definitely has an absolute star in the making: Not-Mark Duplass. He was funny and charismatic as hell. I *could* watch an entire movie based on his comedic timing and romantic endeavors. Recommended, but be prepared for an extreme slow-burn "drama/comedy/horror." It's not for everyone, but it's still realistic and suspenseful at times. Not to mention, Not-Mark Duplass and Uncle John, himself, is worth the whole trip.***Final thoughts: I guess the joke's old, or so a coworker told me, but when I heard it in this movie, I laughed so hard, I had to post it online immediately. It got a huge response, all-of-a-sudden and one of my biggest posts to date. Don't want to ruin/spoil it here, but suffice to say: Listen to your doctor!

thefactorywall A well-written, well-directed study of a man pushed to his limits. Uncle John has suffered a tragedy, and is driven to do something about it. He's a decent man, loved by his family and respected by his community. How far will he go, and what lines will he cross, in order to make things right? The movie's greatest strength is veteran actor John Ashton, who can portray Uncle John's anguish and turmoil without a word.

Mendocino-California I personally would call this a masterpiece. This is so well constructed and put together on so many levels. I rarely see a movie of such caliber and will see this many more times just to see how well it was crafted. This is a slow moving movie, and has many layers interweaving in and out all over the place like a masterfully scripted classical musical piece.The relationship between the boy and girl is one of the best chemistry's I have ever seen on the silver screen. I just wanted to listen to them, wanted them to be together forever. I almost felt I was in their company their level of intimacy was so real and refreshing. The acting was so brilliant most of the actors just drew you into to their world.This movie is slow, its a thinker, and will leave you thinking long after the movie ends ... and that is the brilliance of a brilliant movie.
