Promised Land (2012) -starring Matt Damon.
Directed by Gus van Sant.
This one is about fracking -an issue that made a lot of headlines around the time the film was made. The price of oil/gas plummeted, and the whole fracking debacle seems a thing of the past -at least temporarily. But of course the topic is still worthwhile.
While the movie did have some exceptional moments.... it ultimately felt a little flat, almost like it was emotionally two-dimensional. It's almost as if the actors all seem like they are in some dress rehersal and each scene and sequence only half-matters.
I'll emphasis again that there were some really exceptional moments -so by all means do watch it.
If anyone get's around to seeing it, or has seen it already and wants to disagree with me, please do.
