Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Dailey This film is a beautiful gem about interiority and emotional landscapes. The cinematography is gorgeous -- all whites and vast openness, but not boring. Ron Judkins, the director, is daring and courageous to make a film this thoughtful and quiet. Seems like a lot of European films. Too bad that we don't support such filmmaking on our own soil. This movie should have been picked up by a big studio. I hope Judkins makes more films.

George Parker "The Hi-Line" is an intelligently crafted, austere, minimalistic drama which tells of a 20 year old woman who encounters a somewhat older man who helps her discover secrets of her past. Shot in shiveringly cold, bleak, and wintery Big Sky country with a small cast, "The Hi-Line" focuses on the Alosio and Cook characters as it trudges through its simple tale of a mismatched pair of self-deprecating people who find common ground in their humanness. Sans all the hype and glitz of Hollywood products, this little sleeper will appeal most to realists.

dodge_this Rachael Leigh Cook gives a wonderfully emotional performance in this little-seen independent film. However, her male counterpart does not do as well and the story moves much slower than needed. If not for Rachael's performance, it would be another run-of-the-mill, easily forgettable coming-of-age movie. The ending seems abrupt and there could be more explanation about what happens to these characters we come to understand relatively well in only 90 minutes. The DVD extras also give a very interesting insight into the making of a low-budget film by a first-time director. A commentary track would have been appreciated, but unfortunately was not done.

dperson the Hi-Line is a small simple narrative of two damaged souls caught up in a delicate dance of approach and avoidance in an original love story. Set against the bleak, wintry backdrop of a small town in northern Montana, this story is tender and truthful and completely unpredictable. The closing scene in the ballroom of Chicago's Drake Hotel is memorable, poetic and touching, a magic movie moment Rachel Leigh Cook and Ryan Alosio are wonderful.
