Review of Play

Play (2005)
8/10
I'd play it again
1 February 2006
I saw this film at the 2006 Palm Springs International Film Festival and of the 35 films I saw there this made my top 10. If this is Director Sherson's directorial debut for a feature film she came out of the gate with a good one. The Christina character has little if any dimension to her which you wouldn't think could work in movie for the principal character to be but it works. The video arcade playing, I-pod listening Christina somehow creates her own game to a beat and lyrics of her own as she bounces around the city like a pinball. A good look to this film and good soundtrack with some good characters. It's got some of the somberness of Ingmar Bergman and some of the artistic fantasy of Federico Fellini in this film. I would give it an 8.0 on a scale of 10 and recommend it but maybe not to a general audience movie-goer.
