Movie #986 "Unhook the Stars" was a nice indie film that I enjoyed a couple of days ago. It was fun watching Gena Rowlands and Marisa Tomei interact, and to see Moira Kelly in a different role for her (here she is the wayward daughter). The little boy is a scene stealer, and Gena, who is recently widowed, seeks a mothering influence on somebody, anybody, and in walks the little boy, who is in need of her guidance. The scenes between them are glorious, and I enjoyed that. Really, this was a good indie film, pushing more emphasis on character and less on plot, and I liked that about the film. The ending is ambiguous as to what will happen, but it's a step forward and rather satisfying to the discerning watcher. Well done!
Unhook the Stars1996R I would give this film 3.5 out of 5 stars.
