    Weak Acting
    Beginner's Luck is one of those films which need extra patience. Unfortunately, I didn't have it therefore it was recorded as a film that I couldn't last watching. It's dull locations and dull acting made the film completely unbearable. Whenever I pulled myself together I told myself to keep going you will see something worth watching. Then I realised that I was making all effort to watch the film and nothing was coming from neither cast nor the director to make Beginner's Luck watchable. Some parts of the film is taken by a hand camera and it gives sort of a flashback. Acting is quite weak at least that how I found it. I can include all cast members including Julie Deply. She seemed like she had volunteered to play in a school's end of the year show. If you really want to see it suit yourselves but not an impressive piece of work. * out of *****
