Since it had a 2008 release date I didn't think much about it, but "Captain Abu Raed" had the same thing printed inside the cover. But I haven't been able to find any evidenced that it has ever played in the US outside of a festival. The website says that it will be released in February, so I'm going with that.<BR/><BR/>I started 2008 with "First Sunday." I think this is a much better way to start 2009.Mattie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031967293313685427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36921766.post-78039652697391025032009-01-18T20:20:00.000-05:002009-01-18T20:20:00.000-05:00Yeah, Matt, you are quite right on the release dat...Yeah, Matt, you are quite right on the release date.

Although I do consider this to be a 2008 film, as according to Box Office Mojo it was released on Dec. 19, 2008.<BR/><BR/>Nicky, I think you would enjoy this. It's a sweet little time passer and is worth seeking out.Mattie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031967293313685427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36921766.post-75882322925985958242009-01-18T11:18:00.000-05:002009-01-18T11:18:00.000-05:00Now the timing of this is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!I s...Now the timing of this is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>I saw this last night with Lucille and Broadway Bob at Manhattan's Cinema Village, and I was enchanted with it! Matt, I understand you received the screener, but i do think this a 2009 film, so I won't be tempted to make any revisions myself, not that I say it's quite that good to warrant it. But's it's very well-done, and as you say the director presents the film with "a delightful sense of whimsy! And the lead actress turns in a raw and strong performance.<BR/><BR/>And yes, you do indicate in your beautiful review (which I must say I hung with on every word, especially after seeing it last night and wanting to write my own soon) that the film was comedic.<BR/><BR/>The funniest moment for me was the dialogue when the two were walking, and he brought in Da Vinci and Mona Lisa. She answered: "Da Vinci was gay" and the Mona Lisa was not smiling! th elargely senior Citizen audience were howling, and rightly so!<BR/><BR/>Interesting comparison to ONCE there! makes a lot of sense.<BR/><BR/>Fabulous review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36921766.post-12596531366694761272009-01-18T00:47:00.000-05:002009-01-18T00:47:00.000-05:00Sounds charming, which I am in the mood for too.Sounds charming, which I am in the mood for too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
