Review by picklefuzzy

"Facade" is a fact-based account of a young man's suicide, made with a tremendous amount of emotion and pain by his best friend. While all of this is evident when watching the movie, the sad truth is that it doesn't mean the film is any good. And it really isn't.

The movie has decent tech credits - it's shot on actual film, features solid but not spectacular performances, and has some good music. The direction shows some mild promise. But none of that can hide a script that goes absolutely nowhere, ill-defined characters, and shapeless scenes full of endless, meaningless dialog. The film seems to stretch on forever, and the ultimate suicide doesn't feel justified at all.

I would assume that few people would say to the writer-director-star of this movie that "Facade" sucks because of what it obviously means to him, and as a result the film has probably gotten further than it might have otherwise. But don't be fooled - this movie has little beyond it's good intentions.
