DVD Reviews of Angela
DVD Review: SIMPLY AMAZING
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an amazing and haunting look at how two young sisters cope as their family life is torn apart.
The father is unable to deal with his wife's horrific slide into mental illness. Instead of dealing with the harsh reality of things they cannot even begin to understand, the little girls retreat into their own world. The magical quality of this is tinged with the sadness of knowing why it exists. The imagery is astounding.
This film is more a character study and a slow paced homage to childhood. It is a visually haunting tale of the girls and their need to make sense of what is going on around them. I would recommend watching this movie when in a reflective mood.
DVD Review: Different from the rest
Summary: 4 Stars
Deep, dark, and mysterious, Angela is a movie that is definately off the beaten path. I remember finding out about this movie in the year 2000 and looking forward to renting a copy only to find out that the movie was yet to be released.
The original movie was released in 1995; this DVD wasn't out until 2002. Both releases received minimal publicity. Specials for the DVD include audio commentary from Rebecca Miller and a crew biographies. If you are tired of the mainstream fare, then take a walk up Angela's alley.
DVD Review: A great work of art.
Summary: 5 Stars
A more interesting story than I expected. If Shakespeare where alive
today he would have made this film.I am not surprised it won awards.
Great acting, great writing, great directing. Excellent photography
and art direction. A modern tragedy, you get so involved with the actors you rarely notice the boom mic which occasionally dips into the top of the frame. Still much better then many Hollywood movies. Who can forget that gun which was left behind the drapes on the set of Three Men and A Baby. The merits of this film will be debated for a long time.
DVD Review: Very artistic
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie, I think, is well done. If you like the artistic form of the young female body, you will love this movie. The scenes of the little girls were done very tastefully. I have always enjoyed viewing the female body in its purest form. It is a beautiful creation that many people, especially men, take for granted. There is nothing sexual or arousing about any of the scenes and they are done in the most prestigious of settings. Very well constructed.
The plot is a great one. The only problem I had with this movie is when the girls were in "the big nothing," the story started to bcome like choppy sentences. The scenes changed to quickly and Angela was getting too many signs. I think that this part was a little overdone. The ending, although very dramatic and appropriate for the movie, could have been laid out better. It left me with a sense of incompleteness. Other than that, the movie was excellent and a masterpiece in my eyes. Well done!
DVD Review: finese and art, altogether
Summary: 5 Stars
once again. the movie is a little roughly crafted. There are a few scenes in which you can see the boom mike. or equipment. but the story, the acting and most of the photography is superb. The story reaches deep into the mind and the sweet-and-sour realism is the climax of art. The child actors, specially miranda stawrt rhine are in a word, sublime. there are some brief scenes of nudity so a little parental guidance. They are inocent and natural so no obsenity or adult situations are present. (that I can remember) the scenes are a family swimming in a river and are all conveyed very inocently and freshly, evoking the sense of being a child and with your family. Exelent movie.
Description of Angela
From award winning director Rebecca Miller comes this poignant coming-of-age story about a young girl caught between the harsh realities of a difficult family life and the fantasy world she escapes to inside her head. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at SunThis eerily beautiful film stars Miranda Stuart Rhyne as Angela, a young girl trying to cope with her family's falling apart. Her mother (Anna Thomson) has drastic mood shifts that bring her from manic happiness to utter misery. Her father (John Ventimiglia) tries to hold everyone together, but Mae's vacillations are becoming more than he can manage. Adrift, Angela and her little sister concoct magical rituals and have visions of fallen angels and the Virgin Mary; reading signs in the way a towel falls off a chair or a tool falls off a truck, they set off to find their way to heaven. Angela succeeds because of writer-director Rebecca Miller's keen understanding of childhood, when imagination and reality are fluid and fantasies can exert a potent influence over a child's life. An unsettling and affecting movie, with an excellent performance by Rhyne. --Bret Fetzer
