Something of a Marmite movie,

This review is from: Mouth to Mouth [2005] [DVD] (DVD)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
The plot: teenage misfit Sherry (fantastically acted by Ellen Page) drops out of school & hooks up with SPARK - a group of new-age hippy-types & recovering addicts, who turn out to be a cult. She is set to work in their vineyard, where she gets some measure of the affection & sense of belonging she craves but also a psychological battering & cruel punishments, which she is told are for her own good but are ultimately down to SPARK's leader blaming everyone around him for his own issues.
I feel this subject is one oozing with potential but sadly, most of the substance was traded in for style in this movie. For instance, I initially found it very hard to 'get into' as most of the characters at first came across as being so much larger-than-life that I couldn't relate to - or care about - any of them. There was also a near-silent scene between 2 characters which was performed virtually as a dance but which didn't really fit in with the situation they were in. That said, the second part of the film rather more captivating - mainly thanks to some beautiful cinematography & good, solid acting. However, most of the situations didn't have enough subtlety to make them convincing, so while I found it interesting & entertaining to watch, I was ultimately left feeling that Mouth To Mouth didn't have much to say. Her lack of substance but unique & visually powerful style mean that in future, I will look out for films which Alison Murray directs but I will steer well away from any which she writes. And I will definately check out other films starring Ellen Page, who acts her socks off in this.

Mouth to mouth will leave you speechless,

The reason for watching this is simple, for ellen page's performance. Apparently his was done a little before hard candy came out and it's not hard to see why the director of Hard candy chose Ellen to be his muse in hard candy. She is a born actress and the roles that she takes are well worth viewing. Although the film is slow she keeps you staring at the screen when ever she is on screen. The depiction of a teenage girl's life is well documentated and expressed with some power behind it.
if you wanna see great acting watch this.

Middle of the road and nothing special, that's how I would describe this movie. Ellen Page is far more engaging in Juno and I suspect the film studios hyped this a little to much in the wake of that movie's success!
