Okay Film

Rating: 6/10 (10 December 2012)

This film was not the best film I had ever seen, I felt like it didn't have a really deep meaning or point to it, it was about Ben's journey in finding what he really wanted, but besides that I didn't find it to be very "deep." The one thing that did impress me was the cinematography, it was very inventive and artistic. For example the where the camera took a dive into the pool, as if you were seeing through the eyes of Ben. Also the point of view shot of Ben looking at the desk clerk through the spokes of the desk. I liked Elaine, I thought there relationship and "love" was a bit quick and bizarre, but she was very likable and I found that Katherine Ross did a great job playing here. Not my favorite Dustin Hoffman film, but I did appreciate it.
