DVD Reviews of Feast of Love

DVD Review: Do we truly see the person we love?
Summary: 4 Stars

This underrated movie has an excellent cast and asks us viewers if we truly listen to the people we love, or think we love, or we see them for what we want them to be and not much else.

The plot is intelligent and not at all as unrealistic as some of the more critical reviewers find it. If we allow ourselves a bit of self reflection we can see ourselves and our own good and bad choices in many of the characters and their choices in the movie.

And if we are lucky enough to see this early enough we might even be able to avoid a few more blunders going forward.


DVD Review: Underrated heart warmer
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved everything about this movie. Greg Kinnear and Morgan Freeman always guarantee a great flick. The performances by Alexa Davalos and Toby Hemingway stole the film though.

DVD Review: Harmless But Average
Summary: 3 Stars

Feast of Love features a series of amorous encounters cenetered around an Oregon coffee shop called Jitters, owned and operated by Bradley Smith, played by Greg Kinnear. The film provides a fairly luminous galaxy of stars such as Kinnear, Morgan Freeman and Jane Alexander the chance to play roles at which they excel: Kinnear as the amiable, aw-shucks but clueless lead role, Freeman as the sage dispenser of wisdom dispensed to other characters through dialogue and to the audience through voiceovers, Alexander as the loving but saddened nurturer, and so on. Trouble is, the script doesn't offer them the chance to do much beyond what we already know they can do. The movie doesn't set out to achieve much. It's like watching your favorite ballplayer hit a home run in a game your favorite team doesn't win. Nice, but the end result is disappointing. Feast of Love is clearly a rental, not a purchase.

DVD Review: Great underrated film
Summary: 4 Stars

It's got a loose plot, some slightly implausible story lines, and no real path, but Feast Of Love is one of those films you see and think about a long time after. The acting ranges from great to excellent, and the interwoven tales jump from bittersweet to funny to near-tragic with astonishing ease, a rare accomplishment from a director. Definitely wirth seeing, but once you do, you'll likely want to own it.

DVD Review: Pain and Joy of Love & Life portrayed most Beautifully and with Hope
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best films I've seen in a very, very long time. It is filmed well and has a dynamite cast.

The plot is like an overview of "everyday lives" of people we can relate to.

There are some provocative themes in the film which are very emotionally confronting.

This movie is brutally real, truthful yet overwhelmingly inspiring.

This is one movie where there is more than meets the eyes.

It is about real world love

The characters are complex chillingly realistic and they can't be pigeonholed into "good" and "evil."

Anyone looking for an truthful account of love & relationships will not be failed by Feast of Love.

Description of Feast of Love

Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 09/23/2008 Run time: 102 minutes Rating: R
The warm, reassuring gravitas of Morgan Freeman anchors Feast of Love, a multi-character meditation on the mysteries of that oh-so-powerful emotion. Bradley (Greg Kinnear, Little Miss Sunshine), owner of a coffee shop in Oregon, thinks his marriage is idyllic--until his wife (Selma Blair, Hellboy) leaves him for another woman. One of Bradley's baristas (Toby Hemingway, The Covenant) falls head over heels for a girl who comes looking for a job (Alexa Davalos, The Chronicles of Riddick), but his abusive father (Fred Ward, Miami Blues) spells trouble for the relationship. Finally, a professor (Freeman) and his wife (Jane Alexander, Kramer vs. Kramer) struggle to find purpose in life in the aftermath of a personal tragedy. Though some scenes are a bit precious and the dialogue leans too much on semi-philosophical pronouncements, viewers will find it hard not to identify with the universal trials of romance and the yearning for a family. Also starring Radha Mitchell (High Art, Pitch Black) as a real estate broker who can't stop seeing a married man. Warning: Feast of Love is predominantly about the ways of the heart, it features several fairly explicit sex scenes. Directed by Robert Benton (Places in the Heart, Nobody's Fool). --Bret Fetzer
