3 Backyards (2010)
9/10
I am confused by all the "hate" for this film.....
5 September 2013
I don't understand all the negative reviews for this film. I found it to be really good. I think a lot of the problem is that many people look too hard for things and miss out on what they are actually looking at. I am a "people watcher" and to me that is what this film was like....sitting back and observing people and their lives around you, only with dialog that you wouldn't be benefited with if you were actually observing. Since childhood I have always looked around at houses when driving through a neighborhood and wondered and imagined what was happening in each one...Everyone lives there, but they all have their own lives and they may never cross paths with the person 3 doors down, yet they have a connection due to their neighborhood. That's how this film and the 3 stories felt to me. They connected but then at the same time,they did not....but, if a viewer is looking too hard to try and make the connections they are over thinking everything and missing out on what was actually happening, which was 3 beautiful story lines about life. If you hated it, watch it again (God, I love Netflix) and view it without analyzing how there is a connection, just watch and feel during the stories.
