“Newsflash! Time moves in one direction!”
This 2013 drama-romance received one nomination and was for me quite disturbing. Written and Directed by Liz W. Garcia it’s subject matter could be one identifiable to many during the transition from 20’s into 30’s except for the awkward love story with graphic nudity and strong sexuality regarding a minor.
Keep the children away. No pun intended but this story involved many disturbing images with teenagers as well as drug use and pervasive language. Once the audience goes past those shocking reveals we focus on the wonderful camera work and close-shots, exquisite acting of Kristen Bell, and David Lambert (who in my opinion stole the show).
The soundtrack was helpful, however there was no powerful message or hint of inspiration in this one; it seemed to be one slow awful event to another until it ended abruptly and unsatisfactory. Sure anybody can lose their way and take a break to search for themselves again, but taking advantage and falling in love with a minor doesn’t really quite cut it.
