Sparrows Dance

This is clearly a low-budget/no-budget film, but it was made by a few people who know exactly what they are doing. The director has acquired a reputation as a difficult man; OK, so was Steve Jobs. The actress who plays the main character perfectly has gone on to become a good, dependable character actor. She is able and willing, in this film, to look dowdy, unattractive, weird, until she decides not to, and becomes genuinely attractive. The story is described in other reviews here; suffice it to say that it is never unbelievable, both central characters are spot-on, the acting is good, and the ending sums it all up. For a low-budget film, it works for me.

A superb little movie that Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to make.

Simply put, it's about an agrophobic young woman who meets the plumber that comes to fix her toilet.

The best thing about the movie is the delicate dance that plays out between the two leads and the director. The characters seem very normal, even though they have differing characteristics. Conversation flows and we learn everything about our characters very organically.

It's quite short (about an hour and twenty minutes) and the ending fits the feel of the movie perfectly.

Why don't they make romantic movies anymore? This made me pine for yesteryear.

This is not your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. It is obviously a low budget film, but it lacks nothing a higher budget film might have. It is actually a plus that the movie was frugal.

The characters were played well and the chemistry worked. The movie seemed to go quickly although the story was a slower pace. I enjoyed watching it, but was disappointed when the movie seemed to end prematurely.

If you want lots of laughs and occasional silliness, check out a Paul Rudd movie or something. This movie is serious and is based solely in dialog.

This was the worst movie ever it had the worst ending none of it made any sense the woman was crazy the man was crazy the whole movie was just crazy I wasted an hour watching it I should have not wasted it.

Some movies you see and wonder where the writer came up with the idea. Sparrows Dance rings with the authenticity that the screenwriter has a lot of the problems that the protagonist has.

Slow moving, slow building.

An ultra-low budget flic but ultra-high quality work by the two actors and the director and cinematographer.

Fascinating to watch the main character struggle with her agoraphobia. One of those issues, if you don't have it it's hard to imagine it.

At the end of the movie when she goes to the cupboard - well, I won't tell you what happens but watching it I didn't know what she would do.

Worth watching.
