Product: Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006)
Rating: 2.0
My review of Fur. Read on...
Another amazing performance from Nicole Kidman in an extremely flawed film. This was an interesting concept, but the screenplay is weak, and the characters and story are both underdeveloped. There is no depth here at all. You find yourself simply apathetic towards the people on the screen, and this is never good when the film under question is supposed to be a character study.There are a few things to admire in this film, but you just can't get past the feeling that much more could have been done to make this a better film. Robert Downey Jr tries his best to deliver a strong performance, and he does a decent job here...even though he is covered with hair from head to toe through half of the film. You can barely recognize him.See only for two reasons: Nicole Kidman and Carter Burwell's score, which is amazing. I may very well purchase the soundtrack.
