Tedious, especially the background music
Everything about this movie is so tedious, I keep waiting for it to get better, but it won't, I know. Most of all, the annoying music playing in between scenes is tedious and repetitive. Feels like it's going to build up to some kind of crescendo and still nothing happens. Probably the most annoying part of this movie.
I usually enjoy the acting of the two main actresses, Joe as an actor is new to me, but could be adorable. Also, the kids are probably usually good, the script is pretty bad and a snoozer
Grateful it was free, to speak, on Netflix.
It's quite a good and certainly believable story plot. Probably the directors worst work.
Girl in Golden Gate Park (2021)
Thinking about it after the movie
I enjoy a movie even more when I think about it for days later. Girl in Golden Gate Park has various intriguing plot twists that had kept me pondering throughout the evening and into my week when I first saw it online last year. It's not a simple movie, but full of rich images of San Francisco, lovely close ups of emotion (or lack there of) and an appealing sound track. It's enigmatic, mysterious and can be quite tense with the character development. When I was finally able to see it "on the big screen" the beautiful cinematography was more appreciated. I'm equally impressed with the concise and natural dialog J P Allen creates for all of his small group of supporting players. It's certainly timely to review loss and revenge in this time of misplacement and grief for so many people trying to live in a proper home. I enjoy a story that's so good at making me dislike even the face of the "bad guy" and looking forward to their demise. It's not a subject that some story lines can easily achieve. Cheering for the lost and despondent person(s) takes some creativity in well developed characters. I'm impressed with the choices of all actors helping procure such a beautiful story of truth and lessons learned.
It's a good time to binge watch all of Allan's Coffee and Language films. Girl in Golden Gate Park is so far my favorite, but so have all of his films....they keep changing themes with unpredictable outcomes.
