Waiting for the Light to Change

I think that would be a more appropriate title for this movie. I thought of it as the cinematic version of Z-Quill. If you're having trouble getting to sleep, just put this movie on and I can practically guarantee you'll be nodding off in a matter of minutes. Okay, I got my digs in. Truth be told, the movie wasn't terrible.

I thought it had a great deal of potential The cinematography was pretty good. The acting wasn't awful. The problem was in the writing. The movie was about five people in their early twenties who head to a beach house for a week. Then their stories begin to be told. Unfortunately, we don't really learn that much about them. There's mention of one of the women having gotten over an eating disorder. But there are scenes, many scenes, where they're just sitting around, barely talking. And they all seem to be terribly depressed. How is that having a fun getaway? I'd rather stay at home than hang out with these sourpusses.

Anyway, I think the director has potential and look forward to seeing what comes next from her.
