Marie and Bruce Reviews

To be honest, I really had no idea what to expect from this flick but since I always has a weak spot for Julianne Moore, I thought I might as well give it a try. Basically, it is a really obscure feature and even though it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, it failed to receive any kind of distribution and it was finally released on DVD in 2009. Myself, I found it in the DVD bin with the usual deal ‘5 DVDs for 5 euros’. Well, eventually, I really had a hard time to care about the damned thing. Indeed, Julianne Moore tried very hard and, as usual, she was pretty good but the lead characters were both so annoying, it made viewing this picture very painful. I mean, I don’t mind watching a minimalist picture with barely anything happening throughout the whole duration (For example, I really loved ‘The Man from Earth’) but if the few characters involved are not interesting and also fairly unlikable, well, the end-result is not what I would call a rewarding watch. To conclude, I think I’m being rather generous with my rating here, it was rather weak and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
