ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL (2006) - May 10, 2006
This actually started out really well, but then sort of lost steam and petered out towards the end. About a idealistic young kid who goes to art school, only to find out it isn't quite what he thought it would be. The movie has a quirky charm, and for the first 40 minutes or so it really works. But there's a lot of superfluous stuff here; the comic it's based on was apparently too short for a movie, so it was expanded for the screenplay. You can tell. It feels padded. The performances were all good, as was Terry Zwigoff's direction. But it definitely would have benefited from a shorter running time. ***
