88 minute running time … why this kid thought his life story was worth telling is beyond me … who cares about this kid’s life? Who cares about his squabbling in-laws and his sort of asshole father? John Farr did me dirty by recommending this. I think the reason he recommended it is because adult “Jesse” looks like a Ralph Lifshitz model. I had to pay $5.69 to stream this, which means it was impossible to fast forward! Bah!
Let me try to find a critic who agrees with me… this is the closest someone comes: “D’Ambrose seems far more interested in recreating memory fragments from his life and presenting them as static art, rather than exploring any of the emotions behind them … its insistence on depicting moments without emotion feels, in the end, a little empty.”
