Southern Man

Summary: Southern Man - a compelling tale of revenge
Review: A well paced drama which keeps you glued to your seat. The acting is homey but good with an authentic ring of small-town South. Hitchcock would like this one. It has that eerie strangeness of his Vertigo. Technically, very well done for a low budget film. Rick Rosenberg, director/writer of the film is a bright new star on the Hollywood scene. Can't wait to see his next work. By the way, this is not the other Rick Rosenberg who produced all those other films several decades ago.

Summary: SEE THIS MOVIE
Review: I found this film to be intense and riveting. It held my attention completely. I found the characters to be well defined and and the directing quite creative. The subject is daring and difficult to watch, but important. I would imagine therapists today deal/ people in denial,however when the the therapist is in denial, it is a lost cause. Great insight on the part of Mr. Rosenberg.

Summary: One of the few films these days with something to say.
Review: I heard about this indie at a film festival. A bunch of studio people were talking about it. Pretty *&?/@3% cool. That's all I can say. The opening's intense. And the story kept me hooked, trying to figure out what's up throughout. Killer ending as well. Does anybody know if this Rosenberg guy has written or directed anything else? Occassionally somebody comes along, like a Sayles or a Tarrantino, where you just go, whatever this guy has done, or is doing, I want to see it. From his writing, I get the sense he's spent some time in jail.

Summary: Some good ideas with the wrong treatment
Review: Overripe drama about a kidnapping and a Southern family's dirty secrets. The film's story is set in the present, however it plays like something out of the 40s or 50s. The hammy acting and stagy dialogue only add to this effect, which according to the director was intentional, but it just doesn't work. The transfer is marginal, the picture is very fuzzy, and it's in pan & scan format, making the obviously widescreen shots (in the super 16 format) look claustrophobic.
