The Lottery (1996 TV Movie)
8/10
Good for a low budget tv movie

Warning: Spoilers
Kept me watching until the end, the end is so tragic though, not happy.

I appreciated how they portrayed the characters, the cinematography and acting. I liked how they used classic filmmaking techniques to build up tension, to show not tell us the story. I also appreciated that even though the main actor looks well built there is very little violence. Modern films could learn a lot from this film with these simple elements, to tell a tale using the camera not spell it out in blatant dialogue. I just wish the ending had some hope, its really a tragic story about a man trying to come to terms with his family history. I mean the thing starts with him losing his girl friend and father and only gets worse for him. I really enjoyed it for a vaguely silly sunday movie.
