Movie Reviews of Claire Dolan
Movie Review: Not Much Goin' For This One
Summary: 3 Stars
The reviews on this film are very generous, in my opinion. If this is what passes for art these days, cinema in general is in trouble. In the U.S., it's practically dead anyway. Nothing but remakes and crap, but that's another story. It indeed was a solid storyline, I am not denying that. I loved the shots of the city and the authentic background noise added to every scene. But when it came to the acting and the scenarios presented, it just fell flat. The lead character's monotone delivery and bland persona took it's toll on me eventually, to the point where it was almost annoying. Her character was simply not developed to the point where one could feel anything toward her plight one way or another. It stumbled from one clunky sex scene to another, generating to interest whatsoever. Lodge Kerrigan is extremely talented. Keane and Clean, Shaven will attest to that. Whatever he was trying to convey here got lost somewhere in his head. Unfocused. Weak ending. The only performance of note was Colm Meaney's. I wish I bought the vhs rather than the dvd. Anyway, it's for sale now. Want it?Movie Review: soul-searching film..
Summary: 3 Stars
quick review: single in New York, struggling to pay a debt, Claire is forced into escorting to pay off her debt. Along the way she falls for a cabbie driver. The film deals with her trying to decide what lifestyle she wants to continue... escorting or a normal life with a loving relationship. The ending I thought was surprising...the actress who plays Claire, Katrin Cartlidge, is in almost every scence, so it's basically a character study of her life. She gave a great performance.Movie Review: VIncent D'Onofrio saved this movie from getting 1 star
Summary: 2 Stars
I found Claire Dolan to be a bleak, sad and depressing portrayal of a woman trying to earn money to may off a debt by selling herself to wealthy business men. Not only did Katrin Cartlidge (Claire Dolan) not have any depth to her role, but I found her terribly unappealing. She only had one facial expression through out the entire movie, even when she was having sex. She showed no feeling or emotion. Granted, some of the dullness to her character was due to her role, but it seemed as though there was nothing underneath.
Vincent D'Onofrio was the saving grace of this film, playing Claire's love and pseudo-savior. He carried the entire cast, along with the very talented Colm Meaney. This movie is an OK choice for any fan of Mr. D'Onofrio's, but other than that, i found the film to be very boring and slow moving.
