Default Movie & theater review: The Night Listener

"The Night Listener", starring Robin Williams and Toni Collette.
I saw it with my wife at Neshaminy in the afternoon.
Small audience, large theater - very clean.
Hell of a film.
Subtle in many ways, but very engaging and suspenseful.
Between the plot and the music, had a hint of Twilight Zone and Night Gallery to it.
I highly recommend this film.

I saw it this weekend. I was really excited to see it especially after I watched a 20/20 segment interviewing some of the real people who were involved.

I didn't love it but I can't pinpoint exactly why. I don't want to give too much away, but I think it would have helped if the movie spent more time developing certain relationships...it would have helped me to understand how certain characters became entrenched in the situation. Whoa, that's vague...sorry. It was really well acted.

Cool

Haven't seen this one yet, but the Armistead Maupin book that it's based on it fantastic. You get sucked in after about 10 pages and can't put it down until you're finished. Very unlike the Tales of the City series that he's famous for.
