Dear Frankie (2004)
A simply gorgeous film
I was left floored by this film. I have never witnessed such a stunningly simple film that was so predictable with such excellent characters and writing that made me feel so hopeful. The performances were like watching real life with a depth so uncanny that the characters were embedded into my heart in the first ten minutes. The portrayal of Frankie was exquisite! This child's eyes tell this story better than the letters. He is captured brilliantly and supports the whole cast. I think the film should be released on a wider scale and given a chance to be seen by everyone. Shona Auerbach has created a masterpiece. A classic in the making!
King of the Corner (2004)
Great writing and performances
This film is a must for the sandwich generation. I saw this at a special screening in Salt Lake City at the Broadway Theatre with a Q&A after the movie with Mr. Reigert. Excellent performances with writing that takes you through the layers of the characters like a fun house full of mirrors. Each scene and character reflects the complexities of this time of life. It is refreshing to sit through a film that deals with everyday people just working through their lives with humor and a strong sense of oblivion. Not always knowing what the consequences will be and just doing what feels right makes this one of the best journeys I have witnessed in a long, long time. Wonderful!
