All These Small Moments

This could've been a great movie. I was enjoying it. And then it ends, leaving the story just kind of open with no conclusion. It makes me wonder if there's more to this movie on the cutting room floor somewhere. Overall, I found it enjoyable. Almost lovable but unfortunately, the lacking conclusion really hurt this film.

Who hangs out with their younger brother? Molly says move! Dr. Rogers is a bit aggressive with the saw. Don't touch her head. Can you be more obvious? What?! Was that a dream? Is she that out of it? Snaps? Get your hand out of your pants pervs. Eating paper seems appropriate. Mom could have gotten non pink weights if she wanted him to use them. Idiots sons getting mom a card. That's more than most. "I love wool"... I've said that a thousand times myself. Love little brothers answering the door. That's a lot of pasta. Nice job eatery scouting dad. That is sad eating. If you date her you'll now end up eating brussel sprouts all the time. That is a lot of plastic wrap. Dirty dirty steps. Annoying start but ended okay. Truly a collection of vaguely related moments. I would like to see more of Howie and Lindsey.

I like a good coming of age movie . They remind you of those moments in your teenage years that mould your future . Good and bad moments . This is one such film This is the story of teenage boy's infatuation with a woman he sees on the bus which further complicates his already tumultuous adolescence. It's a film about three relationships. Howie and the mysterious Odessa. Howie and Lindsay , the girl he meets in the library at school and his parents on / off relationship which is affecting him and his brother who is brilliantly played by Sam McCarthy . I really liked this film. Sure , it has the feel of a TV movie but it's charming enough and I thought the performances were great and very believable. I was surprised to see Molly Ringwald who I haven't seen since the 80's and she hasn't changed much at all. All in all, this is a charmingly short movie that isn't anything we haven't seen before but I brought into it totally .

I watched this on Amazon streaming movies, primarily because it has Molly Ringwald who I have enjoyed since her her teen movies of the 1980s. Here she plays the mom and was about 50. It is about a New York City family, mom, dad, and two teenage boys, but the movie is mostly shown from the perspective of the older boy. It might be considered his coming-of-age story. The title contains the words "small moments" because that is really what it is about, all those small moments that end up forming your view of the world and molding your eventual adulthood. Mom and dad are having some middle age marriage crises, the teen boys are dealing with puberty the best they can, the older teen gets very infatuated with a married 30-ish woman who often rides the same bus, while a girl his age at school is taking a keen interest in him. Yes this is a small movie devoid of any real "action" but as a relationship movie works very well.

I enjoyed this little indie film. good cinematography..very de ja vous of teenage years, family...crushes etc. if you expect a all guns blazing high budget youll be disappointed..but thats is what makes the film. There hasnt been one film which jemima kirke has starred in that im disappointed in (she does remind me of vahina giocante)...yes she is raw...and the 'realness' can be uncomfortable for some...but she is also real and unpolished..which is attractive. good performances from all. i hope jemima stars in more little indie films ... check out her others if you are a fan of indie and do not expect special effects..cgi...and over dramtising...this is just real life.

There really isn't a "story" as such in this drama. Boy meets girl, another girl meets the boy, the intense of wondering which girl the boy will chose is the only thing that kept me watching this to the end. I found myself "clock watching" the timeframe half way through several times. The acting is good all around. Not a movie that I would watch again. It's not the worst film by any means, but it isn't the best either. Drags out in some parts. Watchable as a one off.
