Leave your thoughts about Carving a Life.
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe self-seriousness of this loony swing-and-a-miss shares a tone with Tommy Wiseau’s outrageously amateurish cult classic “The Room” but isn’t nearly as entertaining. |
| User ReviewAlex HIn their latest piece, director Terry Ross and writer Lisa Bruhn present a young couple navigating the trials of adult life as they work to sort out their own baggage and plan for a future neither was quite expecting. Aside from the meet cute and the romantic opening act, most of the film depicts a rather toxic relationship (largely at the expense of Lauren and due to the actions of the alcoholic Mitch) to - sadly, perhaps - much success. The filmmakers have clearly experienced similar relationships and imbue their characters with authenticity throughout. As such, at times it feels like this couple should just part ways, but the spark between them makes it hard to not root for them to sort things out. By the end of it all, you can't help feeling that this is true life and that every relationship has it's problems to work through, some more intense than others. Sure it would be much easier to run away, but do you lose more than you gain by doing so? "A Carving Life" examines this question and offers some input, but ultimately leaves viewers with much to think on after the credits finish. |
| User ReviewLee MCharming slice of life indie flick. A bit of a romance drama coming of age story - young adults moving into maturity, struggling with true to life issues like alcoholism and starting a family. Very affable and relatable characters. Nice camera work and very good sound quality. |
| User ReviewBrian GI really enjoyed this movie. Very well done indie feature that deals with the hardships of loving someone who is in love with alcohol. The film does a nice job of balancing the darkness with many light moments. Great performances by both of the leads. |
| User ReviewDavid ZThis is a movie that deals with alcohol addiction and the destructive nature of those who indulge in to much alcohol and how it affects the people around them. A lot of the times movies like these can go either way one is to maudlin and melodramatic or something more along the lines of leaving Las Vegas. Thankfully this project leans towards the latter with strong performances by both leads. |
| User ReviewStephen KThis was a very good love story that dealt with something all too common in the world -- the struggle of addiction. And I appreciated how it ended on a hopeful note, one in which the love of someone can help overcome. I think that is so true in real life and it was portrayed really well here. |
| User ReviewJuliane BI really liked the two leads, therefore I was totally drawn into the story when their fairytale love story spirals down. This drama about a couple having to deal with addiction issues and all the terrible effects in can have on a relationship has a very true ring to it, one which everyone possibly can relate to if you replace the addiction with your own relationship issues. The ultimate question, should you leave someone or continue to work on the relationship is the centre of this film and a question possibly everyone has asked themselves at least once in their lifetime. Nice visuals, a good souundtrack and great directing make this film an indie gem to watch out for. |
| User ReviewThe All-Seeing ICharming slice of life indie flick. A bit of a romance drama coming of age story - young adults moving into maturity, struggling with true to life issues like alcoholism and starting a family. Very affable and relatable characters. Nice camera work and very good sound quality. |
