I Am a Good Person/I Am a Bad Person (2011)
A courageous story about two women in crisis
I really loved this movie. I sat down to squeeze in a half hour of it this afternoon...and then found myself cancelling plans because I was captivated by the imagery and emotion of the piece and just couldn't leave. Hallie Switzer portrays the newly pregnant teen with such delicacy - she is a delight to watch in her awkwardness and insecurity that transforms into strength and resolve - her emotion is so tangible. Ingrid Veninger's portrayal of the self-absorbed mother and "enfant terrible" filmmaker was poignant and so, so funny at times. She embraces playing status -losing it mostly in this film, and does not shy away from going to the depths of her loneliness to communicate the isolation she feels. Two women lost - searching for answers to big questions-- they separate and reunite -- transformed by their experiences in Berlin and Paris. Great local characters enter the picture and fuel the ambiance of each city. The cinematography is beautiful - you will be captivated by the shot of a soap bubble flying in the sky and will lose yourself in Hallie's sweet, sad eyes and in the final hand embrace of mother and daughter, reunited and okay. Highly, highly recommend. Like a great cognac...you will taste this movie long after.
