Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Words (2012)

I really liked the way this movie was told… a writer is reading his work, which we see springing to life as he narrates. The man in the story in turn reads a book, which springs to life. It was beautiful and haunting and had tons of potential.

Ultimately, however, it failed because I wasn’t sure of 1) what exactly happened at the end and 2) what it was supposed to mean. The journey to the disappointment was quite an absorbing one, though.
