My latest Sympatico/MSN DVD column — the last one until after TIFF, if you’ve come to depend on them — celebrates two very excellent movies from previous festivals that were more or less ignored during their theatrical runs.
“The Last Winter” and “Son of Rambow”, take your bows, please … seriously, you could do worse than to bring both of these home tonight, though I’m really not sure they should be screened one after the other.
Well, maybe if you start with “Rambow”.
But still, probably not.
Son of Rambow was so good – Jennings is a great storyteller.
No accounting for ‘established’ critic’s fickle taste, I guess.
Both of these films sucked, imo. A lot. Drivel……
You’re certainly entitled to disagree with me, but I don’t see how “fickle” makes any sense — my opinion’s been pretty consistent on these movies all along.
