Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Steineded How sad is this?

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

hsolaf At first, this curious film, of magic-reality genre, will baffle you. Walter, the main character, believes he's the Son of God, and is followed by a ghost , Greg(good actor Justin Kirk), a kind of annoying presence-confidant, who won't let him be.This indie film,the intriguing work of promising young director Anna Mastro,and an ensemble of fine actors, mixes Walter's agonizing fantasies with his humdrum, daily reality. Sweet, twentyish Walter, played by Andrew J. West, in a moving, nuanced performance, works in a movie theater, is platonic- ally enamored of the pop-corn girl(Leven Rambin). Walter has been living in a semi-autistic trance with his dysfunctional, grieving mother(Virginia Madsen), ever since his father died when he was 10. In order to enable suicidal dad to go to heaven, Walter promises God he will be His agent,his Son on Earth. Wally thinks he is beholden to tell his peers whether they will go to Heaven or Hell. , Enters Greg (fine actor Justin Kirk)a plain talking, confrontative ghost, wandering on Earth for a decade. Greg wants Walter to tell him where his final destination will be.Wo is Gregg, and why is he in Walte's subconscious? Eventually, Walter's eccentric psychiatrist (colorfully played by brilliant William H. Macy)helps Walter figure out that Gregg, his imagined meddlesome ghost,his dad (Peter Facinelli) and the woman who was his father's mistress (Neve Campbell)are all connected. Once he figures that link, Walter exorcises his demons, resolves his grief, and can become a full and balanced human being. He also gets the pop-corn girl! This very human and imaginative movie will make you feel good that human beings can free themselves from demons that the mind can create due to unresolved grief. I liked it even better the 2nd time around! You will fall in love with the moving characters that these deft and expressive actors bring into being, but especially with Andrew West's brilliant and heart- rending performance as Walter. He makes the movie real, credible and human!

in1984 7.6 of 10. This is one of those films where it's best to know as little about as possible or even to be mislead by one of those horrible trailers. The sort of subtle satire and psychotic comedy that will make you laugh and maybe even cry, but not because you regret the amount of money you paid for the popcorn and carbonated GMO liquid.It has a similar feel, partly because of the setting, as The Voices (2014), which is the better of the psycho comedies, but also the more brutal and horrific.The setting of Indianapolis works perfectly to accentuate mundane, ordinary world surrounding them and the sometimes mocking, sometimes subtle comedy revolving around the mysteries: Are you watching another, urban version of Psycho or a comedy revolving a socially inept loser still living at home with his mom? Or could it be some combination of the 2? Exploring that and various other character/psychological flaws keeps the film rolling and makes you wish it had been a little longer to flesh out some of the characters and plot, maybe throw in a few more misleading elements of suspense or terror.If nothing else, for those who hate theaters and Hollywood, it mocks them with unusual harshness for a film.

Hopstimop This movie is a very touching and deep story about a guy, who finds himself.There is a bit of a romance, but nothing cheesy, just exactly to the right amount.I actually expected some spiritual comedy with ghosts and such, instead I got a character study with heart and I'm happy about it. Sometimes I had the feeling, that there should be more explanation, but at the end I realized, that everything is just fine. You will get everything and it is not spoon-fed to you, but actually the director lets your intellect put the puzzle together and there is no piece missing.If you like feel good movies, where you also can wish off a tear secretly, watch it.

Johan Dondokambey The story and it's major twist seemed very predictable even from the very start. But at the very least it provided a neat enough character background and relationships between the characters. But the consequent development on the story proves to be so very lacking since the movie put so much weight and screen time to those characters who are essentially non significant. The trick worked well in adding duration time for the movie to become a full feature movie. But it did the story no good and instead made it quite boring. The acting overall is just a decent acting work. William H. Macy did quite a nice job as the shrink. But as his character didn't really have any significance to the main conflict of the story, his performance doesn't really seem to matter.
