Straight A's — A sentimental piece that will slowly captivate you — 8*/10
- Scenario: It starts weird, a bit brutal, uncouth, seemingly unimaginative and generally unpleasant. However, if you give it time, it's a family story that slowly grows on you and you end up touched to your core. The characters are rock solid. Most interactions are realistic, even if the settings aren't, because you know that if you'd be in a similar situation with similar dysfunctions you'd probably react the same.
- Known actors: Ryan Phillippe, Anna Paquin, Luke Wilson, Powers Boothe, Christa Campbell and Josh Meyers.
- Visual & sound: Solid composition, except for that final awful cowboy song that I would totally scratch, big mistake.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2024506/
- Who is it for? Those looking for a bit of a drama halfway between romantic and sentimental.
