Movie Reviews of Limbo
Movie Review: One of the "top ten" of '99
Summary: 5 Stars
Limbo is an excellent example of how a filmmaker can turn a story into a masterpeice. There is never a dull point in this film. All of the information is relevant to the plot, and most importantly it fits together. The best way to understand this film is to discuss it with a group of people after viewing it. The best part about this film is the ending. The endind truly lives up to its title and leaves you in limbo. It makes you think about the film and form your own conclusion. Currently I am studying film at school and all of my instructors have recommended this film and now I am recommending it to everyone I know.Movie Review: The Journey Is The Story
Summary: 5 Stars
One might not like the ending, but damn... the trip was fascinating. Sayles has created a gem, shining thru the pale offerings that pass as adult drama in these days. Is it possible that a young actress reading from a diary can be so fascinating? Is it possible that an actress singing can make you run out and buy a soundtrack? Is it possible not to recognize Bruce? Is it possible that Sayles manages time and again to draw stellar performances from actors and actresses who seem to be under utilized in an industry focused on the next pretty face? Yes to all. Do yourself a favor, spend some time in Limbo.Movie Review: Limbo is pure storytelling.
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw Sayles film "Lone Star," it touched me on a level I couldn't even fully explain. When I saw Limbo I was amazed that he'd done it to me again! Limbo is painted with rich textures, sounds that haunt you and the earnest feeling that you actually know these people. I felt as if I was there with them, my life threatened and frightened. Who would have thought that a young girl reading from a diary would contain more raw power and intensity than a Schwarzenegger movie?--another masterpiece of filmmaking by a master director.Movie Review: Titles are pointless, KIll the apple guy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great. It has good acting, decent character traits, a plot that keeps you interested in the end, and an end that will really bring up some thought. I watched this movie remembering a review I read about this having the most controversial ending of any movie made that year. After watching it I agree. The only thing I didn't like about it is that they should have kept the original movie poster for the cover, the one where they define all the different meanings for LIMBO.Movie Review: THE VIEWER FROM CONNECTICUT IS DEAD WRONG!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was by no means boring. John Sayles has made a masterpiece yet again. If the viewer from Connecticut happened to have known what the word "limbo" meant, they would then understand the ending. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is excellent in this film. David Straithairn is superb. John Sayles is a master at character driven stories. If you like John Sayles, I suggest watching "Lone Star", another excellent film by this very gifted director.
