Movie Reviews of Jeremy
Movie Review: Jeremy
Summary: 3 Stars
The good: For discerning persons, some lessons can be gleaned from "Jeremy". First, romantic relationships are meant for mature adults. Second, sexual relationships are meant for persons who are married to each other. Another good aspect of the movie is that the pain the characters felt at the end of the movie was very palpable to me as a viewer; and so the movie was effective in affecting me.
The bad: I did not like the images of the physical encounter between the two main characters, even though not much skin was shown. My point is that they could have left much more to our imagination. Also, I did not like the foul and offensive language, and I think it was unnecessary.
The ugly: Jeremy.
Movie Review: A Sweet Early Robby Benson
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very nice early RobbyBenson movie. Reminds one of their first love, maybe for all nerds. A must have for Benson collections.Movie Review: Horrible looking DVD
Summary: 2 Stars
A very slow moving romance between an extremely shy teenage boy (the kind who normally doesn't get the girl) and a quiet but unnaturally mature for her years teenage girl. Some people will be turned off by the slowness of it, but that's the point. It could have been a four star movie.
But then we have strange sub-plots that have nothing to do with the main story, like the idea that the boy can predict the winners of horse races with uncanny accuracy. This is impossible, but if someone could do that, then only a moron wouldn't take advantage of the skill to make money yet the kid doesn't believe in placing any bets. So down to three stars because of dumb stuff like that.
And then we look at the quality of the DVD. Grainy and blurry. This is the ugliest looking DVD I've ever seen. The original movie was filmed on 16mm, so maybe it looked that bad in the theaters. But still... it looks awful.
Other reviews have commented on the music. I liked the folk 70s song... but then the same song was repeated over and over again.
