The FiFi Report 016

Mystic River
Murder, child abuse, violence, abduction, mmm sounds just like a romantic comedy to me! Help how did I get into this movie? Well I missed half of it anyway with my hands over my eyes. The first 15 minutes are harrowing. Yes I said harrowing. So if you like CSI, FYPD and crime movies with a “who dunnit” then this is your movie. OK it IS great movie making (thank you Clint Eastwood) but the content was not exactly uplifting! Well shot with hard lighting, it feels very sinister but the acting is great: Tim Robbins is amazing and so is Kevin Bacon. But did Sean Penn deserve the Pampered Suffering Artiste award from the New York Times? No he didn’t over act (then again I didn’t see much) Why is it called Mystic River? We bury our sins we wash them clean…Bring back the red Hermes bag from Le Divorce…all is forgiven!
