Review of Sunset

Sunset (I) (2008)
8/10
A beautifully made artistic drama!
6 May 2008
I just saw this movie at the Charlotte premier, and I thought it was great. The first thought I had while watching the film was that it reminded me of a Terrence Malick film. Every shot was beautiful, and the music complimented the scenes perfectly. The script was well written, and the editing was very well paced.

The acting was decent. The two leads (Jordon Alexander and Carrie Anne Hunt), while easy to look at, gave rather stiff performances. Some of their scenes felt a little too forced. The best acting of the film came from supporting roles. Both Ted Johnson (Grandpa) and Tristan Ramel Greye (Kenny) stole every scene they were in. Also, I don't know if it was because his acting great, or horrible, but I too wanted to punch Manny Torres (Manoj P) in the face.

I highly recommend this film if you are in the mood for an artistic drama.
