Good Grief (2023)
The trailer was better...
After I saw the trailer on social media, I was stoked. I love Dan Lecy and thought it looked so good. Emotional, satisfying, moving..just the type of movie I'd enjoy. But what a let down. It felt random. A little disconnected. So many little things crammed into 1:40. There were certainly some nice moments, touching. And I got teary eyed here and there. But not nearly as moving as what I expected from the trailer. Maybe it's my own fault, I had too high of expectations.
All in all, the story was there, the plot was there, but poor execution. It could have been better. But somethings were just missing for me.
A Man Called Otto (2022)
If you've had a love one pass by suicide, don't see this movie.
First off...the trailer is EXTREMELY deceiving. It makes it seem like it's this pleasant journey of an old man making friends and finding himself again. And it is that journey, but it's definitely NOT pleasant. You can't even enjoy the nice and funny moments because you're still crying from the last scene. The acting was great and the characters were great. But after the 4th suicide attempt scene, I was done. No where in the trailer is it clear how dark this movie is. And maybe they were just looking to portray real life. But I don't go to the movies for real life, I go to the movies to escape.
