The Lost Child (2000)
Good story terrible acting by lead actress
I wanted to like this film yet the acting by Mercedes is so poor I can't get into the film. An actor or actress really defines the story and with Mercedes it's just not real enough.. Id like to see another version with a different lead and I'm sure I'll have a better rating.
In the Family (2011)
Good story Bad acting
This could've been a good film yet the acting by Wang is poor. He should've stuck with Directing on this film. The young boy is a better actor. It's also a bit slow. I don't have 5 lines to fill up that's it it's just a slow and poorly acted film. I think if they would've put another actor in the lead it might have been a better film. Wangs southern accent is a bit forced as well.
All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records (2015)
Poorly edited
This movie had a few good moments that could've been parred down to 45-60 minutes max. There is too much repetition of the same themes throughout. It feels like the director/editor is too close to the characters. It's as though s/he wants to make sure they are in the film as much as possible. Redundant narrative throughout. I got up to go to the bathroom and came back and didn't feel like I missed anything. Some good historical knowledge that gets beat to death by repetition. Feels like old timers making a film and too sentimental to let go. Good for a much shorter version at 45 minutes. Or use it as a sleeping aid as is. I don't recommend without serious redo of editing.
