Kitchen Zink Realism!

Take me to your darkest room. Close every window and lock the door. This is kitchen zink realism. Wow! A film that actually tell you a story with the help of dialogue and images. Who does not want to dazzle you with artistry. Or trying to hide that the story is made up along the way. In "Cardinals" we are offered a story with substance. Plus a cast and a crew who knows how to communicate this and more to us, the audience. I am so grateful. This is the play Sam Shepard never got around to write. "It's also the best film that Atom Egoyan never made." (Andrew Parker TIFF)

This movie had a 30 point lead & still lossed at the end.

Let me just say the storyline or plot for this movie was phenomenal Kudos to the writers it was a calm and steady pace not slow or boring so I was entertained through out the film, But it never climaxed or hit a high enough level to get my juices going and that's a tragedy to waste such a great storyline & sequence. The actors performed well and the dialogue was sufficient it just wasn't enough. Too many scenes had the actors staring each other down, At times it felt like pulling teeth. They don't speak when they should and they get loose lips when their mouth should be sealed tight. To me that killed alot of the realism the directors or creators were aiming for. This film also had many layers that it never peeled back confining this psychological drama to being a one trick pony. The ending played out and it wasn't the worst ending by any means it was at least understandable but what it didnt do was entertain. That's a no no. I waited the whole movie they give us only one flashback and then just talk minimally to each other and stare back and forth instead of talking while a life hangs in the balance. All in all I wouldn't recommend this movie to go out of your way to watch because it left so many points on the board by not maximizing the potential of each scene. I would say this film is a little better then average but it's definitely near the top tier independently. This films gets an OK rating.

too slow

Valerie Walker (Sheila McCarthy) is released from prison after a drunk driving incident sent her away. Her daughters, Eleanor (Katie Boland) and Zoe (Grace Glowicki), bring her home. Her dead victim's son Mark Loekner (Noah Reid) asks her questions about the incident, but the answer is unconvincing. The incident is more complicated than the explanation in court.There is one big mystery and that's about it. The audience is left waiting and waiting for the slow reveal for an hour. The reveal is way too slow. By the time that everything is laid out on the table, the movie is almost two thirds over. They need to reverse the distribution and reveal much much sooner.
