The Souvenir
Part drama, part mystery and part
love story, “The Souvenir” stars Honor Swinton Byrne, (daughter of Academy Award
Winner Tilda Swinton) as “Julie” a shy film student who is just starting to find
her voice and place in the world as an artist. Then unexpectedly she meets an older man named “Anthony”. Soon thereafter Julie begins to navigate a
turbulent courtship with Anthony where she see's both his charismatic and his untrustworthy
side. Defying her protective mother advice Tilda Swinton) and her many concerned
friends, she still slips deeper and deeper into an intense, emotionally fraught
relationship which comes dangerously close to destroying her dreams as a film
maker.
REVIEW: In short,
………………"The Souvenir” got a 92% on Rotten Tomato. And by me seeing these types of
small slices of life independent films, it illustrates a broad, generous and magnanimous
example of why you don’t have too.
I have never had more of a tortuous,
emotionally vacant, excruciating and agonizing boring 2-hour film going
experience.
My score?................ I am
being generous.
1.00 Star
