I'm writing this before I see the film. Personally I feel it's a good piece on a touchy subject. I liked the bear, it brought an unusual aspect to it. Before it I thought it was going to be more like Nil By Mouth. The writing's good. Mary didn't seem to do much, I felt for her when things got rough but, I'd have felt a lot more if I'd known her a little better.
I see you're from Blyth. Strange then you write 'curb' and 'trash'. The setting seems US too to me. Certainly from the opening scene. I think. I missed the Lynch reference, I was probably confused. Again.
Anyways I watched the film. For a while there I though I was was watching the wrong one. Non smokers blowing clouds in the air in the middle of nowhere. Bear's still there but silent. I recognised a few lines from the script but not a whole lot else. Shame.
The script I felt was a lot better than the film. IMH if the bear and the wife had a bit more time it would have benefitted. |
