DVD Reviews of This Space Between Us
DVD Review: A few good moments, but much mediocrity
Summary: 2 Stars
An anguished, twentysomething filmmaker, mourning the loss of his wife, leaves L.A. to find himself. Or something.
So he travels to his hometown of San Francisco, where he reconnects with old friends and enemies. There he remains true to himself while he wryly observes all the phonies and neurotics, finally meeting a deep and sincere woman with whom he can begin to heal over the loss of his wife.
This is a typical indie film, in the sense that its satirical targets are all so old. Phony literary parties with their pretentious poetry readings (one scene bears a striking resemblance to the literary party in Parker Posey's THE DAYTRIPPERS); shallow artsy types; crude Hollywood studio suits (shades of SWIMMING WITH SHARKS or THE BIG PICTURE, take your pick). Indeed, the whole trip north to San Francisco evokes SIDEWAYS (although this film predates SIDEWAYS).
However, this film in no way matches the quality of THE DAYTRIPPERS or SIDEWAYS or even THE BIG PICTURE. Many quirky scenes, but the characters aren't engaging enough. That, plus the sense that we've seen all these character types and their situations many times before, makes for a rather boring experience.
There are a few strong scenes. The opening with the studio executive is funny . Even so, the executive, and especially the agent, are very broadly drawn caricatures, which is not true of all the characters, giving this film an uneven feel. What's worse, this film meanders, like SIDEWAYS, but it doesn't meander anyplace especially interesting. So I was bored.
Vanessa Marcil's scenes as the dead wife were poignant (I wish she did more film work), but her scenes are brief, hardly enough to save this film.
