Chrimle Review of Driving Miss Daisy

Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

Slapped Martin Luther King speeches on to at least get one point across...

[4/10 · 2 December 2020]

A very underwhelming movie in terms of story progression, as the story is really bland. The characters are somewhat believable and well acted, but their dialogue makes a very small difference in the overall story. They are the only characters in focus throughout and by the end, they appear unknown - even to each other. The story is so simple, but the difficult-to-comprehend dialogue makes it appear there is something going on. By the time half of the movie has passed, the issue of their backgrounds comes to play, but it just feels slapped on as an after-thought - it was not actively relevant to the story to begin with, nor will it be for the remainder of the movie. It is still unclear what the story or characters were meant to convey...
