Flawed but enjoyable

This is an imperfect film. But as it boldly states in the 'about' for the director, this was shot when he was 19 and probably didn't know any better. Whether that makes it more obnoxious or 'endearing' is up to you. I would say in production terms, finding out a kid just out of high school made it doesn't shock me at all. The kids in Super8 had more production value. But then it hit me towards the end: this is a spiritual movie. This wasn't made with much money or technical knowledge, but it conveys a great feeling. It hints at something I have rarely seen in movies. It is like when someone scribbles a beautiful poem onto a messy cocktail napkin. That is Fade: very flawed and scrappy, but worthwhile for the evocative grandeur it reaches for.
