Movie #1382 "Person to Person" -- well, the second movie we watched at the Milwaukee Film Festival promised to be a tad better because the cast include Michael Cera ("Juno") and a you tuber actress that we enjoyed watching on stage at the Steppenwolf in the play "This is Youth" also with Cera. But the film ended up to be so slow that it appeared to creep from one scene to the next. There were a few funny moments, but mostly the payoff wasn't worth all the sitting and sighing that we did while watching it. The film concerns a slice of several people's lives in NYC : a photographer and journalist team up to investigate a possible murder/suicide, a man tries to buy a jazz album, another man is regretting that he put porn pictures of his girlfriend (soon to be ex) up on the internet, and a girl who appears not to care about boys finds herself facing her first sexual encounter. I wish they stories came together in some way, or even had more substance to them, but alas, I can't. I would say it was the weakest of the films we saw at the Milwaukee Film Festival this year, and we were disappointed. 3 out of 5 stars
"PERSON TO PERSON" 2017 1 hour and 24 mins
A single day in New York City -- one that involves a death that may be suicide or a homicide -- unfolds through the eyes of various characters, including a crime reporter, a record collector seeking a rare vinyl platter, and a headstrong teen.
