Movie #973 ........................."The Dish and the Spoon"



Movie #973 "The Dish a and the Spoon" --- I liked this, but then, again, I like a lot of indie type films that take chances.  There's a lot to like ------highly competent acting, beautifully photographed moments, weird script, funny moments of rage and love, deeply intimate connection with another (without the gratuitous sex scenes --- he's a teenaged kid!  and glad that wasn't covered) Okay, the pacing is very slow, I'll give you that, and the high point is very, very quiet and poignant rather than crazy violent, but I felt it still sustained interest in these two deeply flawed, creative, but very lonely people who find solace in each other.  Nice job!











The Dish & the Spoon2011R92 minutes    I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars
Reeling with rage after learning of her husband's infidelity, Rose departs for Delaware to confront the other woman. But once she arrives, she shifts her focus to an unexpected romance with an eccentric teenage boy who helps her cope with her anger.
