As I Lay Dying (2013)
Impressed
I was thoroughly impressed with Franco's work. It has been so many years since I've read that book but, unlike many reviewers that said you'll be lost and confused.....not at all! I got this movie from the get go. It was fantastic and I enjoyed all of it. If you pay close attention, you can see one character in particular and his decent into madness. Frankly, how could you not after everything they go through?
These actors really played their parts well. Like many of Franco's movies, he wants you to really connect with each person and their individual stories, pain, feelings, etc. I def connected with these.
A good watch. Well done!
The Letter (2012)
Enjoyable
This is a slowing moving movie. Its a movie that encourages thinking outside of the box and it requires paying attention. I thought Franco was as always, secretive, alluring, haunting, sexy and menacing. Winona Ryder, what can I say.....thumbs up on this performance. I was appalled reading other reviews with spoilers......that she was just crazy. Its called mental illness people and its very real. She probably had lots of experience to pull from for this part and without her, the movie would have been crap. The ending of this movie moved me to tears. If you've ever known anyone with a mental illness and have ever watched anyone's slow decent into madness & paranoia you will SO get this movie. Frankly, I don't care if it was a film school project or Franco's professor or lighting or angles or all of these things some reviewers just pick on in every movie. It was thought provoking, emotional, confusing.....and basic people watching. Its not for everyone but don't knock it because you don't understand the content.
