Movie Reviews of Off the Map
Movie Review: Georgia O'keeffe lives through William Gibbs in "Off The Map"
Summary: 5 Stars
Any time I have a desire to be transported to the high desert of New Mexico and spend some time in contemplation of my own life and where I am in it,I watch Off the Map.
For me it is a transforming experience. Joan Allen gives her usual yummy fantastic performance,Jim True-Frost tears it up as William Gibbs,and Sam Elliot,Valentina De Angelis and J.K Simmons all give stellar performances.Even Amy Brenneman's cameo is thought provoking,I would love to see the Joan Ackerman play someday. Campbell Scott did it up right,I am sure some people move to New Mexico because of this flick.
Movie Review: "Off the map" not off the map
Summary: 5 Stars
"Off The Map" is a genuinely enjoyable movie. Its voice over of the main character as an adult, in retrospect, is effective and pretty much makes the movie, and the message is clear: sometimes simpler is better and actually not so simple after all, for within a seemingly simple lifestyle all of the intricacies and depths of life are able to be noticed and pondered. "Off The Map" made me laugh and made me think, but not too much of either to detract from the viewing experience. This movie holds precious truths and balances film elements well. Be sure to see it!Movie Review: Oh, heaven...
Summary: 5 Stars
I totally adored this. For me it was not centered around the character of Bo (whose acting, though lauded to the skies, sometimes came close to brittle, if not slightly amateurish, but no matter), it centered around the gorgeous strength of Joan Allen, the magnificent charisma of Sam Elliot, the innocence of the young man with genius who came to stay. It centered on what Joan and Sam had created in this world of ours, a world I can barely stand to look at anymore. No more TV, no more news, no more Bush, no more religious this or that...but heaven on earth.Movie Review: Off the Map
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully shot and rich in emotion, "Map" is a film that quietly gets under your skin. Elliott is a revelation as Charley, a man carrying a nameless despair that's struck him dumb, while Allen is fabulous (no surprise) as philosophical bedrock Arlene. Young de Angelis also shines in a demanding juvenile role. A story about life's infinite possibilities and finding sustenance when and where you least expect it, Scott's movie is a quirky, heartwarming delight. Go off the map to see it.Movie Review: Moving Art
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this beautiful film; however, I will not give you a summery. Others have tried to describe 'Off the Map', but they failed.
Its not the sort of film you can put in a neat, labeled box. Its the sort of film you have to experience.
The only thing I can say is, if you like art house films, this is one you shouldn't miss.
If you don't know whether or not you like art house films, consider this your litmus test. Its worth it.
