`HALE BOPP is work of art in the little and not so little details that bring a film together. The mood, the look, and the music are terrific. It's a smart film that knows how these twenty-somethings talk and act. They try to fill up life's empty moments with sex and alcohol, and the awkwardness and insecurities they reveal in moments of vulnerability are all too real.
HALE BOPP is so refreshingly smart yet uncomplicated in its composition that it makes films with similar themes seem dumb and superficial. The performances of Andrea Mustain as `Rachel,' and Brad Eric Johnson as `Ethan' hit just the right notes, and each is successful at suggesting the constant interaction of evolving motives of love, lust, curiosity, fear or rejection, fear of commitment.
By giving his characters and their actions texture and complexity, writer-director Chris Rubeo creates a world that is true-to-life without being conventional. As a result, HALE BOPP is less about plot and more about people waiting for their plots to begin. Rubeo is willing to leave things open and shows possibilities for his characters without immediately sealing their respective fates. In a world of juvenile blockbusters and too many snide, obscure art films, this kind of film doesn't come around often. Catch it if you can.'
