Let Me Draw You Picture of a Slow Realization
18 August 2023
If you are looking for a film that's a little low on good plot and deep meaningful characters, but is filled with weird artsy fartsy things that seem out of place, this is the one. If you like movies that show you that you don't have to be very good at something to be considered great these days, and if you have a kinda confusing life, and struggle to think for yourself, you might absolutely love this movie.

I wasn't impressed at all with the film. The movie jumped around in ways that made the already tedious plot a little hard to follow. The main character seemed a bit void of actual personality most of the time, and had too little chemistry with her boyfriend who clearly could do better. This is despite his off key crooning, which as he was supposed to be a musician, I'm uncertain why he was cast for this role. I do think that other than the terrible singing, his acting wasn't too bad, but the role needed a good singer with some level of chemistry with the main character.

As a low budget independent film, it wasn't terrible. I just think it could have been much better. The main character needed way more depth and personality. The stoty needed to be more clearly written. The artist things were interesting, giving it a unique look; but, as they were confusing, it ended up being a distraction rather than a benefit.
