5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Beautiful, Jun 1 2002

This review is from: NEW In The Bedroom (DVD) (DVD)

Today's Hollywood has produced movies that appear to be made behind a computer screen. Enough special effects. In a time when movies are made to earn millions of dollars based strictly on advertising, endorsements, or cool fx, In The Bedroom is a fantastic and refreshing movie with the emphasis on acting and dialogue rather than what can be done with a green screen. The script is incredible and the beauty of the movie lies in its simplicity and near perfect grasp on reality. This movie is true--made solely with diagetic sound (no musical score/only sound natural to the picture). Similar to the stage works of Kenneth Lonergan, this movie brilliantly develops every character and shows the haunting reality of a situation the characters themselves do not know how to handle. Beautifully done and very intellectually orchestrated. See it!

I liked the plot and the acting was excellent,but I was very dissapointed with this movie. It was too drawn out. I was expecting more, due to the great reviews,but I wasn't too impressed. All of the action was in the first half hour then it was about an hour of reactions just wacthing the parents ignore each other, a little action in the end, and it's over. I really didn't get what was so great about it.

This review is from: In the Bedroom (Sans issue) (DVD)

I loved it ... my girlfriend fell asleep . This is the 2 major reactions for this film . If you like slow but very deep story ; if you ever lost a loved one ; if you understand the harsh reality of a little detail , painfully striking you deep into your hart ; if you prefer exellent cinematography insted of digital graphics - this is your film .
Small East coast town , usual people , usual little problems ... and tragedy strikes . The only son is killed by the ex of his girlfriend . But legal sistem works at it best , and killer still on the street . Parenths of the dead boy se him everywhere in this little town . What would you do ?
The moments of this movie , which shocked me the most :
First - when father walked in the son's room ... camera slowly shows the close on the floor , short on the chear ...the pillow with a headprint still on it ... he touches it ... and I swear , I felt the pain .
Second - when father faced the killer on the street. He looks at him ... slowly lookes down... and lookes back at him with the same speed as he rises hand with a gun .
And last one - when father quietly walks back to the bedroom... we shocked by surprise - his wife is awake and waiting in the bad ... few quiet seconds ... Did you do it ? - we shocked by her question as much as he was .
PS: For some reason , this film reminded me " Ice Storm ". You really understand what you have , only when the tragedy strikes .

This film had almost no likeable characters, and, of the ones who were likeable: they were characters you feel so very sorry for. Read more
