Texas (2005)
If you think "nothing happened", you weren't watching

One review I read stated that "at the end of the film you get the feeling that nothing really happened...and you say: 'and then?'" That's interesting, because at the end of the film, my wife and I were both deeply moved by the apparent nothing that happened. The director had done a very good job in building up our conventional expectations, and the resolution he offered was exquisite, unexpected and banal, all at once. So, maybe "nothing happened" in the Hollywood sense but it made sense to us. And the "and then?" part occurred to me too, but not until the next morning, and it deepened by appreciation of the film (turned out that was the key question). "Texas" seems a bit too frenetic at times, but it was a memorable film.
