For Your Consideration - Nothing To Get Excited About Edition
For Your Consideration is a weekly round-up of upcoming indie limited releases. The idea is to either expose you to or remind you of films that can't afford to plaster their posters on the sides of buildings or accompany your Happy Meal in toy form.
This week's FYC will hopefully be looked back upon by future generations as something of a rarity. 10 limited releases arrive in either LA, NY, or both this weekend, but none of them are interesting enough to warrant a full entry. Narrowly missing recommendation this week are It Might Get Loud and Yasukuni. Helmed by Davis Guggenheim, It Might Get Loud will no doubt be a competent little love letter to the electric guitar, but it is only receiving a lukewarm response from non-enthusiasts. Yasukuni, the story of a controversial war shrine in Japan, would've easily earned a recommendation for its nuanced approach towards a symbol of the complicated nature of separating heroes from criminals in something as fuzzy as war if not for its heavily biased third act that sits in stark contrast to the evenhanded approach of the rest of the film. As for everything else, there isn't much of note. Voy A Explotar is just another film unabashedly imitating scenes from the French New Wave without bring anything new to the table. Whenever I've seen Grace's trailer in theatres, it's been greeted with rounds of snickering, and Taxidermia, well, it's something you'll know if you're interested in or not once you see the trailer.
