Our Farm
I saw this movie at a screening in New York City and really liked it! It's a warm, charming and timeless tale of a family coming together during less-than-ideal times. The premise revolves around a family rallying to save their generations old lobster business. The characters are recognizable and easy to identify with, allowing for an enjoyable movie-going experience which leaves you with a smile on your face (especially as you remember how your own family emerged after facing similar woes together, lobster business or no.) The music is fun, the lobsters are omnipresent, and the story is engrossing. Enjoy!
a great movie
It is rare to see these days such a true to life film. the director delivers an extraordinary story of the truth of the human character. The depth of passion expelled from each look and each frame is amazing. Never have I seen such truth put on screen. It is the way of the world, It is the truth of the hardship of living. Based on a true Brooklyn story about an Italian family in the middle of some rocky patches. The lines and thoughts stay with you long after the movie has ended. The characters just felt like people that I know. People with real problems nothing melodramatic which was nice to see.
Saw this in LA
I saw this film at a screening in LA recently and truly enjoyed it. Genuine and full of heart, and I thought the acting was terrific. I don't know why Danny Aiello hasn't had more leading roles before this, and I was impressed by Jane Curtain in a drama since she's really only been in comedies, like SNL. Once I was immersed in the story, I really felt for these characters, and I could definitely identify with the son's conflicted feelings of loyalty towards his dad and his dad's business. No matter what happens, you will always love your parents, but often times there are things about them that drive you crazy and make you swear you'll never be like them. I thought this movie was well-written -- the dialogue seemed like conversations between real people, not trite like a lot of Hollywood movies. Nice to see an indie that you can actually relate to.
The movie feels very real
I was glad to see a movie where nothing explodes, no one gets shot, where the characters are well, regular people doing their best to keep it together... Lobster farm tells the story of a small business and the family that defines it. Or maybe it's the other way aroundÂ… As the plot and characters are introduced we begin to see how closely the identity of the individuals and of the family as a whole are tied to their small business. Through the day to day routines and an unusual string of events, we discover each person and a chance to see ourselves. One by one, we get both a comedic and quirky peek into their individual stories leading in to a more serious look at the gravity of what family business and the family are faced with. All in all , because of the story, the acting and the direction, Lobsterfarnm feels very real. It makes you laugh like your laughing with family. It makes you worry like you would about your own. Ultimately it paints a portrait of a family with all it's facets that is a real gem.
well worth the trouble
I saw the movie at a local indie film venue in NY suburbia -- Jacob Burns films center. Audience applauded at the conclusion as did I. This is a nice film with some great performances by a solid ensemble of some well known and not so well known folks. The grainy texture of the print for me added to the experience. The dialogue was exceptional in its simplicity and feel of reality. Danny Aiello and Jane Curtin as Frank and Maureen Georgio played it real and perfectly. No they are not Tracy and Hepburn nor did they hit a false note at any time. Of the supporting cast Daniel Sauli was good, though not superb as their son Michael Georgio. Henry Yuk stood out as the Chinese business man--best friend of Frank. The rest of the cast adds atmosphere to the piece with spare dialogue that gives a sense of who they are without involving them. In sum--this is rewarding film for film lovers.
