Interestingly Enough...

...I really liked this film. I found out about it on the Black Apple blog. She will often put posts about books she read or films she saw or shows she went to. I love her art and I've read all her back blogs and I feel like I have a lot in common with this blog (I don't say person because I've never met her, though I would certainly love the pleasure). She didn't write much about the film in her blog and there was only little more in the Netflix write up, but between the Black Apple's recommendation, a key word in the Netflix write up and this movie post picture, which I love, I decided to get it. It started out a bit slow for me and my DVD player started to act up not to far into it but today I finally got around to watching it through and I was stunned. There are many elements about the film that I found depressing but the story, interestingly enough, managed to leave me feeling heart warmed and hopeful at the end. The character of Eli was handled so well. She was presented in a matter-o-fact way even when she was doing extraordinary things. I don't think I can recommend it enough but with that being said it is most certainly NOT for everyone. It is a bit disturbing, make no bones about it, but still very good.
