American Movie (1999)
The cruelest film I've ever watched.
If this had been a mockumentary, it might have been very slightly funny.
Since it's an actual person whose life and dream they're profiting from by publicly displaying as ridiculous, I think American Movie is just plain mean. I felt sick watching it.
Sister My Sister (1994)
ponderous and just plain boring
You'd think a movie about incestuous sisters who eventually murder their employer couldn't help but be gripping, but then you'd be wrong.
There is no plot. There is no character development. There is no redeeming visual beauty.
This movie is a waste of time. The exploration of how the relationship between the sisters develops is nil, their sexuality is never anything but a grotesque, the class relationships are glossed over, and employer is a silly caricature.
Ponderous silences and period clothing do not equal depth of meaning.
