Slow day, Part 2. I went to the IFC to see Savage Grace. I'm not going to write a whole review because who cares, but here are some thoughts. 1) I agree with Ed Gonzalez, that there's a nice performance in there and it's more or less ruined by poor direction. 2) Handjobs never work on film. The people behind me were howling with laughter, and these are middle-of-the-day, hardcore IFC patrons. 3) I realize that aging Julianne Moore appropriately for this film was difficult, since she's supposed to awkwardly go from 25 to 50, but nevertheless ... Moore looks *exactly* the same in every time period. Very distracting. 4) The "walker" threesome scene was very well done. The whole notion of them piggy-backing their own psychosis onto 60s liberal decadence was well played, but the whole movie ... just read Ed.
