So This Is What You Get for a100 mil Student Film

Rating: 1/10 (22 August 2018)

Let's just look at the two leads. I assume they got the roles because they're very thin and received solid Cs at acting school. Cs due to extra credit for whining, sniveling, and looking constipated. Just the way Gable and Leigh showed emotion. Or perhaps Rebel Without a Cause would be a better comparison. With Stone in the James Dean role and Garfield with Wood's or Mineo's role might be better for Garfield. Wood might be too butch. To be fair there was a conscious effort in the writing and directing to make Goldfarb weak to fit a PC agenda. But Goshdarned is already weak. Compare him to a professional actor like Bruce Dern. Dern has way more screen presence. But even though Dern conveys certain things to an audience quite well, he is limited compared to an actor like Steve McQueen. Gumfair has no subtlety with facial communication and doesn't seem to know anything about body language and trick ticks to hold attention.
