Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3079879, member: 7894"] Some times I'll add a film to a list, figure I'll watch it eventually but have a hard time actually getting around to it. If it comes from Netflix I kind of have to force myself to so I can send it back and move on to the next flick. Had one of those, "Columbus." I like Haley Lu Richardson, John Cho and Parker Posey, so it had that going for it. I've watched plenty of slow paced, character driven indies. This was beyond slow paced, this was glacial. Almost nothing happened. There wasn't much character development. More than 1 long lingering shot of a character just sitting there, doing nothing. Looking out a window, or smoking a cigarette, or...? I almost shut it down several times, it was hard to get thru. If you like architecture it might float your boat. Apparently the small town of Columbus, Indiana is well known for its architecture that is completely beyond what you would expect for a town of that size. Posey had a small role and they did the nearly impossible of making her uninteresting and generic, literally any actress could've played that role. Cho's character was fairly dull and hard to connect to. Richardson fortunately breathed life into the film, I think she's fantastic. She's on the borderline now of needing to move on from playing teenagers (she's 24 now, although this was filmed in 2017). I'm looking forward to seeing her career develop. This is not at all meant as an endorsement of the film, it was just barely interesting enough to stick with, and that was because of one character only. [/QUOTE]
