Low-key, probing, phenomenal, a definite must see

October 31, 2009

Jeff Daniels, Lauren Graham

This is one of four films I caught on this last trip to Europe, so I am surprised it is listed as “pre-release” but glad that Amazon allows reviews.

This is a mix of low-key romance and deeper torment played without pathos.

Jeff Daniels is an author whose book about conversations with God is a national best seller to the point that he is tired of being mobbed and has become a recluse with severe back pain.

Lauren Graham is an abandoned single mom chyropractor, with one other actor completing the trio and playing an alcoholic bookstore manager with a lot of issues from a broken family in the past.

Depending on your mood, this movie can be entertaining, absorbing, or both. I loved it and would gladly choose to watch it again over the normal trash that one finds on airline movie line-ups.

I do not recommend The Complete Conversations with God because it is bulky, you lose the inspirational covers, and after reading the latter, I regretted not listening to others who said the same thing: buy the set.
