Grodmin (2005) Reviews
Good script...solid acting.
This is a weird film about artists in art school, but for a low-budget film it's very solid. If you manage to make it through the first twenty minutes, which are a little hard to follow, what comes of it is very interesting. It's kind of a recipe book/film about how to make a good low-budget film as you watch. The script and story for the film was very good. At the end of the film you first think it's a story they could've made up as they went along, but when you go back you realize everyone was kind of "in" on the script from the start. It really is a "real" movie. It was very clever the way it all fit together. Hardcore film fans may not like the film because of it's digital look, but I hardly noticed it at all. This film is supposed to be a real documentary, and what you see in the film feels very real - Almost perfect. Some of the "movie parts" are a little slow, but overall it's a fun, interesting film. It's probably better the second time you watch it because you know what to look for. Overall, worth watching. Good acting. Good storytelling with lots of funny details and some awesome photography.
I love this movie!
Have always been a huge Clem Snide fan and kept coming across this film while searching for music online. Recently watched the film online (it's free at their website) and was totally blown away. The film starts out a little slow and at first I wasn't sure what was going on. Is this movie serious? Is it supposed to be a joke? -- Eventually, I just decided to go with the flow, and by the time I made it to the final credits my mouth was totally off its hinges. My friends and I all like smaller-budget subversive movies, but this was by far my favorite. I thought the story was so weird BUT believable, and all the ACTING WAS SO GOOD!!! -- The longer you watch the movie the better it gets. I totally know people like the director and everything he was trying to do to save the film was so dedicated. Everything everyone was trying to do was so brave and they really meant what they said, or so I thought. The soundtrack in this movie is FANTASTIC! So many great songs by Eef and Clem Snide. So much other great indie stuff that I thought totally hit the mark with the tone of the film. Grodmin is a great hidden treasure of film-making. I'm really glad I found it. --- If you haven't seen it and are reading this, go watch it! It's really clever and smart. I think Hollywood should by the rights and remake it on the big screen. It would totally ruin it, but it would be worth it because the story is so believable. I think people would like it, but only if they did it right.
Better than "Art School Confidential".
Thought this film was a great art school film. Wasn't bogged down by lots of mainstream stereotypes of artists getting high or spouting off lots of pretentious philosophy. Parts of it were obviously meant to me funny, or ironic in a ha-ha way, but those parts were very self-aware, and were designed to make fun of real movies that try to pull that stuff off as "serious" art. As a documentary/drama, or philospohical movie about the role of artists in society, or movie-making as an art form, I thought the ideas in the movie were very smart and beret well presented. The film jumped back and forth between these two different "dramatic" worlds, and that use of film-making technique was very well done. I wish there were more art school films like this, and just more films like this, in general. I wish there had been some behind-the-scenes features with the film because I'm sure they would've been really funny. Nevertheless, the film was completely cool.
Highly entertaining and very clever.
On the recommendation a friend I actually went through the trouble of purchasing a copy of this film online, something I seldom do, in the off chance that it would actually be as "entertaining" as said friend (and a handful of online film bloggers) have claimed it is. Call it a financial neurosis, or just plain desperation to find a new kind of film that wasn't completely awful, I actually found myself highly intrigued by the tricks, if you could call them that, of this obscure film. I thought the acting was very good, brilliant, in fact, and found many of its elements very clever. A film like this would never do well in mainstream cinema, but in terms of its cult appeal, I think Grodmin has got real teeth. I thought it was very well made and certainly did quite a bit on an obviously limited budget. The performances by the two main leads certainly deserves the highest praise. - They both turned in great performances. Would recommend it any film enthusiast who likes underground stuff.
At first I found the double plot a bit confusing and made the movie move slowly, but then I started becoming enthralled with the relationship between the two men.
At the beginning of the movie I found it moved slowly and I was confused. After a while however I became fascinated with the relationship between the two men. It had a father-son/older brother-younger brother quality to it with a sexual/emotional eroticism, which I found captivating and interesting. It was never clearly shown what came to the surface of their relationship. It appears they each went their own way and nothing was ever said about it again. The Altmanesque use of the movie-in-a-movie was well used and by the end of the movie my confusion lifted. I was left with a sense of curiosity as to what may have happened in the future.
