Movie Review The Ballad of Jack and Rose
Like the film Birth, this has a creepy child sex aspect that totally grosses me out. I wonder if the filmmakers intended to make it an indictment of communes or if they just used it as a device to make an unhealthy relationship between Jack and Rose?
It reminds me of another hippy themed film I reviewed a while back called "A Simple Curve." That one featured a father/son conflict and at least had more of a plot. I'd like to see a decent view of commune life. Until then, lets avoid crap like this, shall we?
If you love Daniel Day-Lewis, pick up this film in Bandon.
