I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Absolutely Brilliant!
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Okay, so this is an indie film made for Sundance, still, it has it all: good script, good directing, superb acting (especially DeWitt)!Given the simple situation (attractive, bohemian art-lover girl arrives to a family), everyone can easily guess the dynamics. However, her presence points to a general pattern that is present everywhere, in everybody's life... Which is wonderfully depicted in one of the scenes - beware, spoiler is coming!**** SPOILER **** After the party, the 'happy' family walks out the door. Happy??? Complete mess!!! The husband is disappointed... because the young art-lover girl left with his young employee. The wife shared a kiss... with her patient. The daughter is in love with the young employee of her father, who left with the art-lover girl... so she had to make do with her classmate for a kiss :) **** END OF SPOILER ****In its genre, this movie is 10/10! Check it out!
Martine (Olivia Thirlby) is a young artist making an art film about insects. Peter (John Krasinski) is a sound engineer helping her out to finish the film. She slowly draws the attention of Peter and creates conflict with his wife Julie (Rosemarie DeWitt).Krasinski is playing against his usual nice guy type. He is still playing a version of it but corrupting it. It's actually quite off-putting to see it. Thirlby is wonderfully charming as a girl who shy away from commitments. She's one of the more interesting young actresses around. She doesn't overplay the role. She neither the victim nor the aggressor. The daughter Kolt played by India Ennenga has an interesting role. All of it should add up to a very compelling movie. However it feels rather under written and empty. The characters act but without major consequences. The couple's marriage wasn't much to begin with, they didn't really fight for it, and it isn't much at the end. In the end, everybody walks.
I saw this at BAM in Brooklyn and thought it was pretty incredible. Rosemarie Dewitt is so wonderful in her role (she is not the lead but somehow she stole the show for me—she is so beautiful and intelligent and refreshing to watch) and she has great chemistry with both Krasinski and Justin Kirk. It's basically my three favorite TV actors in one great film, getting to do so much more with their talents than you ever see on Mad Men, Weeds or The Office. Olivia Thirlby is excellent too as a very driven young woman artist. Her style is great and she has a very intense and unique energy—an ingénue but not so innocent at all. But I think my favorite part is how gorgeous LA looks and the interiors, too. It is really sexy and a little seventies naturalist but also completely "contemporary LA" in a way I've never seen so accurately portrayed. I really identified as a New Yorker who has visited LA and had a major crush on the parts of it that just seem like, so hip and mysterious and "how can I figure out how to live like this?!" I am a big fan of Dunham's work and actually saw this because of how much I liked Russo- Young's last film, "You Wont Miss Me." This is a smart and funny and great to look at collaboration for them as writers and I'm super excited to see what Russo-Young does next....
After watching Nobody Walks I immediately felt a visceral connection to the film; perhaps it was because I found Nobody Walks appealed to me both audio and visually, a killer-combo that made watching this film so aesthetically pleasing.I found myself aligning with all of the characters, and at various points throughout the film both sympathizing and empathizing with the characters.The attention to detail in Nobody Walks is remarkably refreshing; it was as if Nobody Walks was one giant completed puzzle, (you know the kind you used to do as a kid on a rainy day), and the character's back stories, the film's score, and the cinematography were the puzzle pieces that made up this beautiful piece of art that you just want to share with everyone!
