Michael Goldbach
DVD Review: Kat Dennings Shines in Flawed ‘Daydream Nation’
Submitted by mattmovieman on May 19, 2011 - 12:15pmCHICAGO – Michael Goldbach’s little-seen quirk-fest is a feature filmmaking debut like many others. It feels less like a final draft than an overcrowded sketchpad. There seems to be no end to the amount of intriguing ideas that Goldbach wishes to tackle, but he has little idea of how to string them together. His various stylistic conceits distract from the narrative rather than enhance it, resulting in an ungainly picture.
