Mini-Review "Bubble"

Review by Fat Jack
My Rating 3 star out of 5














Now available on DVD
Rated R
Directed by: Steven Soderberg
Starring: Debbie Doebereiner, Dustin James Ashley and Misty Wilkins.

Rotten Tomatoes: 68% fresh
Netflix: 2.9 stars out of 5
IMDb: 6.7 stars out of 10
Roger Ebert: 4 stars out of 4

A movie as calm and devoid of emotion as the town in which it’s set, Bubble is a long, dry look at the power and pain of unknown love. The movie is depressed in it’s lack of emotion and sluggish pace – a direct correlation to the lives of the characters. Even murder is portrayed as a pestering paper cut. The young man affected the most, as it was his best friend that killed his girl, seems disconnected from feeling anything remotely connected to care or even empathy. As for the Karla Quotient, do not worry. Nothing ever really happens in this movie including the murder. (Watch the trailer and visit the official site.)

i liked this movie for many different reasons, mostly for the fact that it was an interesting expirament by Soderbergh and Mark Cuban/Todd Wagner.

Here's my post on the film:
