I loved the plot, acting and direction of this movie, so it pains me to say this but on a technical level ANGELA is subpar thanks to a starring role from--the sound boom! Yes, my friend and I counted no fewer than a dozen scenes in which the boom was clearly visible over the actors' heads. The worst of these is when Angela and her sister are walking along the railroad, approaching the boy's house; the mic bobs around like a fishing pole caught on a rubber boot. A pity, because given its other merits ANGELA should have been an intelligent, professional-looking film.
