Movie Reviews of Angela
Movie Review: Angela-Good Or Bad?
Summary: 5 Stars
I was totally blown away by the freedom of expression in this movie. All the actors in the movie, especially the two children were just works of art in motion.There were so many things going on in this movie--yet--somehow the characters all stood out in their own way at the right time. I was completely impressed with the mood of the movie. One that could have been very depressing, was somehow, magical and so loving. The movie also brought out how children can survive through many things and sometimes...when all they have to reach out to is Heaven....God answers......I loved the ending, which at first look was sad, but then after rethinking for a few seconds, I realized that Angela had found her way......This movie is bold, not afraid to show how life really is without censorship attached, and therefore is refreshing and will be very easy to watch many more times....Movie Review: Eerie and thought-provoking
Summary: 5 Stars
Rebecca Miller's haunting tale of a young girl driven by her religious
obsessions into a frightening world of hallucinogenic images and
superstitious delusion. There are touching performances by the two principal
girl actors, Miranda Stuart Rhyne and Charlotte Eve Blythe. Rhyne, in
particular, is engaging as the young protagonist caught in a heavenly
struggle between good and evil to save her mentally ill mother. She
convincingly portrays Angela as a determined and feisty but naive and
vulnerable child in equal measure; someone who is headstrong but literally
open to abuse.
There is a fine director's commentary narrated by Miller exploring the
themes and motivations that went into the making of the film.
Movie Review: finese and art, altogether
Summary: 5 Stars
once again. the movie is a little roughly crafted. There are a few scenes in which you can see the boom mike. or equipment. but the story, the acting and most of the photography is superb. The story reaches deep into the mind and the sweet-and-sour realism is the climax of art. The child actors, specially miranda stawrt rhine are in a word, sublime. there are some brief scenes of nudity so a little parental guidance. They are inocent and natural so no obsenity or adult situations are present. (that I can remember) the scenes are a family swimming in a river and are all conveyed very inocently and freshly, evoking the sense of being a child and with your family. Exelent movie.Movie Review: A Cinematic Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie sent chills down my spine even after the twentieth time of seeing it. Excellent architecture, this movie portrays imagination in a light that leaves you a little unsure of the diagnosis. It left me wondering if the magical things that happened to these girls was real or really in their imaginations.It also allowed me to see a wierd, dark side of childhood again, like what I went through, circumstances that made survival and coping palpable and no longer hidden. I reccommend everyone see this movie at least once. Maybe the things hidden in this movie were unintentional, but there are layers to sort through.
Movie Review: A great work of art.
Summary: 5 Stars
A more interesting story than I expected. If Shakespeare where alive
today he would have made this film.I am not surprised it won awards.
Great acting, great writing, great directing. Excellent photography
and art direction. A modern tragedy, you get so involved with the actors you rarely notice the boom mic which occasionally dips into the top of the frame. Still much better then many Hollywood movies. Who can forget that gun which was left behind the drapes on the set of Three Men and A Baby. The merits of this film will be debated for a long time.
