Movie Reviews of Levity
Movie Review: Find of the week
Summary: 5 Stars
I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into when I pulled this movie from the $5.50 bin at Wal-Mart. All I knew is it had actors I respected, who gave good comedy and drama, and that was good enough for me. Had I known, I'd have gladly paid full price for this film when it was first released.
A pity the average movie goer has the depth of a damp tissue, this movie is worth seeing. A tale of unrequited redemption, well played, well written. Yes, the focus is Manual, as it ought to be. I loved Morgan Freeman, but I've adored him since I saw him on PBS in "Electric Company" some 25-30 years ago.
This movie should make you think. No happy ending, things don't tie up just because they ought to. It's dark, but what isn't these days?
See it. It's worth whatever you pay.
Movie Review: A great tale about redemption with a solid cast
Summary: 5 Stars
I have yet to see a movie with Billy Bob Thornton, Morgan Freeman, Kirsten Dunst or Holly Hunter that I don't like. And this movie has all of them, so it was set up from the beginning as a movie that stood a big chance of becoming a classic in my book. And it did..."Levity" brings forward the solid acting muscle of three consolidated actors and a rising new talent to tell a story about redemption in a way that leaves some ends open, yet makes you get up at the end and think positively about life and potential for overcoming guilt and negative past experiences. All the acting goes on over a tapestry of rich music woven by Mark Oliver Everett, to create one of 2003's most subtle yet powerful dramas.
Movie Review: Billy Bob just doesn't shine, he glows in this gem!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will definitely echo the sentiments of others here, and what has been said. When I picked this up at a clearance sale at my local video shop, I had no clue what I was getting into, especially when at the time I was still skeptical of Billy Bob Thornton. I will admit that I did enjoy his work in "Monster's Ball", but I still needed more convincing. "Levity" confirmed that he is indeed a talented actor worthy of my respect. His work in this film was nothing less than outstanding, and this role seemed to be tailored just for him. Strong and moving performances by none other than Morgan Freeman, Holly Hunter and Kirsten Dunst. A must see!
Movie Review: Good Thought Provoking Themes Well Done
Summary: 5 Stars
Although some people might not like the melancholic feel of this movie, it a well done piece exploring the theme of personal redemption and forgiveness. People don't always approach these topics in the same way and this movie doesn't try to spin a single, simple answer. The notable cast works well creating a compelling tale. A great movie to talk about after viewing. Highly recommend.Movie Review: This is a great drama, well done and moving.
Summary: 5 Stars
Another example of how a great movie gets overlooked because it was too slow and too deep for our chills & thrills modern movie-watching habits. If you have the patience and intellect and heart, you will love this movie. Great performances all around.
