Film Review: Gus Van Sant Turns Death Into Poetry in ‘Restless’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 23, 2011 - 8:08am Rating: 3.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Gus Van Sant’s “Restless” is an undeniably twee and hipster film that will annoy some viewers about as much as bad performance art, but I found the film’s commitment to a unique tone and world view refreshing as so few directors even know what those words mean. It may not be grounded enough to be emotionally effective, but another strong performance from the stellar Mia Wasikowska and a consistency to its vision make “Restless” worth a look.
