Rev. Living Out Loud

within the review of Living Out Loud submited on Rottentomatoes.com by Sean Axmaker from the Seattle Weekly, he makes some good points about the movie that I aggree with. Like when he states "Holly Hunter provides plenty of fuel, but the film still loses steam." I agree with this statement Holly did play a very invigorating role it the movie that still did't have the needed wind to set it a sail. How ever Sean's statement about the director and the way the movie went,(" director Richard LaGravenese creates in scene after scene a velvety elegance that, unfortunately, dissolves at the edges. He just can't seem to pull it all together into a coherent story.")can be eckoed with in his own rivision. Its quite possible that this does reflect the movie being the the review is also lacking coherentness. Living Out Loud does protray a series of events that revolve around Judith's (Hunter) life and how she is searching for a new meaning after her husband left her for another women. the movie is basically based around Judith's search to find new meaning and if it is possible to live a happy and successful life alone. its throught this search and many intoxicating nights that Judith meets Pat (Danny DeVito) who has also been through some life chalenging events and the two are able to develope a friendship based upon this that takes them through many enusual events, and lots of time spent haning out in a jazz club with Liz (Queen Latifa) who is a jazz singer.
