Don't Pass Me By

This is a wonderful movie. It is a series of vignettes about four women with problems that are complication their lives and the way they work toward resolution.

The acting is realistic. I bought into most of the people and their actions and reactions. I also developed an emotional attachment to some of the characters.

The editing and choreography of the vignettes was done nicely. You got enough information before moving on to the next story. I felt it moved fairly smoothly with a couple bumps here and there.

The only criticisms I would have are: 1. That the resolution of some of the problems were dependent on other people and outside forces and things fell into place a little too nicely 2. At times the music drowned out the dialogue. I liked it, but it was not necessarily realistic. Life doesn't always end in the story book fashion.

Overall I would recommend this for an entertaining watch though the underlying message might just be a little too optimistic. If your band hasn't taken off by the time you are 40 you might want to get a day job.
