Eli Ruined It
Sadly Eli's overacting and completely preposterous reactions to every single thing that happened wore extremely thin pretty rapidly. It's too bad because there's many things that work in this film. The music is very good and there's some very powerful scenes of confrontation and honesty. Seems to lose it's direction from time to time but eventually finds it's way back on track. It's easy to say these are messed up people, and maybe they are. But it was common and new and there was no frame of reference for people to cope with these issues. The neighbor's weren't any better. Parents are rarely ever portrayed realistically in movie throughout the decades. In this film the fathers were more over the top in their knee jerk reactions. The mothers were sympathetic and I did feel for them. The young adults were all excellent and once again I should say that the music was appropriate and absorbing. I can see why it garnered the praise it did and it's not nearly as dated as others from this era. This could have been a solid 6 or even a 7 if it wasn't for Eli's dundering incompetence. He should stick to westerns where his stilted dialogue delivery is easier to overlook. Editing was okay and the mood was consistent for the most part.
