The Go-Getter (TBA #1)
Martin Hynes
Categories: All Films, Marquee, TBA
Average Rating:
Rated 3.417480412395472/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 95 min.
With an amazing cast of actresses (Zooey Deschanel, Judy Greer, Jena Malone, Mara Tierney) surrounding a heartbreaking central performance by Lou Taylor Pulci, Martin Hynes's The Go-Getter is a smart and sensitive indie drama. Half road film/half French New Wave love story (including a wonderful recreation of the Madison sequence from Godard's Band of Outsiders), the film chronicles the story of a young man who steals a car to find his lost brother. Amazingly, the car's owner(Deschanel) not only doesn't want to arrest him, but strikes up a relationship with him via her cell phone. The chemistry between Pulci and Deschanel is infectious, and the coming of age story can help but leave you moved.

This movie had me looking at my watch after 20 minutes. Quirky is fine, but quirk for its own sake is annoying. And thats what this movie had in spades.
