Review: (#1, C-) If you’ve seen the trailer, this poster doesn’t make a lick of sense. While the sunset is nice, it and the background don’t mesh well and look like separate elements cobbled together poorly. (#2, B-) While it certainly feels forced, it’s an attempt at creativity and that matters. The juxtaposition of the present and the memory is interesting, especially the fuzziness of each, match the concept and its theme quite well. The problem is that the sprockets of the film strip doesn’t line up correctly and while that won’t matter to many, it will matter to some.

Trailer Rating: C+

Review: (#1, C+) A little hazy on its intent, the trailer wants to weave a narrative of someone who is having a hard time in discerning fantasy from fiction (it’s even mentioned) but that doesn’t help the audience understand what’s going on. While giving away the plot isn’t always a good idea, avoiding it altogether is equally inadvisable.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
