Movie Review: Upstream Color

Upstream-Color-PosterI certainly enjoyed this film more than Primer, the director/writer's first film. I found this one much easier to follow, and it has multiple storylines so if you are lost at least it's never boring. It's beautifully shot and well paced. The score is unique and incorporated into the story in an interesting way. The story is elaborate, but told in the simplest way possible. There's very little dialogue (which seems to have all been dubbed). The film makes you think about the decisions we make in life, the roles we assume, and how sometimes even when we think we're in control we may not be at all. Gonna take a few more viewings to really soak it all in. A lovely film.
