The Crude Oasis (1993)
Loose Plot Great Directing
I watched this film really early in the morning randomly when I was ill, the eerie atmosphere of the movie instantly pulled me in and although the plot was loose and it was hard to follow the art direction and acting kept me hooked. The plot was a bit strange and when it finished I still wasn't sure what the plot was however the film was more about what wasn't being said rather than what was, creating a thick atmospheric intensity that some modern films find hard to capture. Although low budget and obviously unknown the film left me with a haunting feeling and Im glad I watched it. The direction was really interesting and the acting of Aaron Stiles was really intense, if you come across this film watch it!
Because I Said So (2007)
Give the film a chance
I think the user who previously commented on this film is both harsh and over the top critical. Yes its a chick-flick, I'd say thats pretty obvious from the tagline and title but its warm, charming and funny.
Guess what some women do enjoying cooking and spending time with their mothers and shoe shopping! Its a fact of life, you cant create a film which caters to women from all walks of life each with a different interests thats impossible. If you want to watch a film which is about women who enjoy homely pursuits then simply do not watch this film. However if you want to watch a movie which is about family, being a neurotic woman, cooking and relationships then watch this one you wont be disappointed.
I admit the sexual talk with the mother made me feel slightly uncomfortable but the rest of the film is lush!
