Breakfast with Curtis (2012)
Great because every piece fit
This is a perfect example of a movie being good because of fortunate fruition. Every piece was exactly as it needed to be to produce the vibe it was going for (or maybe even not exactly going for).
The acting was great, even if not done by seasoned pros. If the writer/director did the casting, she either lucked out or had a fully realized vision of exactly what she wanted. The set, the cinematography, the atmosphere, every bit of it placed perfectly to maximize effect.
Also, there were no cheap gags for laughs, no gimmicks thrown in to force you to empathize with anyone. It was very genuine and honestly constructed. It's a solid indie movie. It was definitely not made for the sake of making a movie. It never tried too hard or not enough. Well done.
