Steve D Ryder gives her all but there is nothing else here. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review indie a Awful movie. Like watching paint dry. Contrived script, trying to be artsy but failing, boring, more pauses than dialogue, everyone speaks in hushed tones. Watch only if you have insomnia; this'll put you to sleep. One good thing: James Franco is incredibly handsome and sexy in this movie, just being himself, besides being a good actor. Cast of good actors, but they didn't have anything to work with. Don't waste your time. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't believe what I just saw, almost fell asleep at the first half, I guess the acting was ok, but the direction felt extremely amateur. Boring and pretentious. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh my what a shoddy presentation it was that bad. If I was Winona Ryder or James Franco I would remove this of my resume immediately it was awful. The only letter worth mentioning regarding this movie is one to the director to never direct ever again! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review don s This is a movie about nothing. A playwright "thinks" someone "may be" causing her to have a mental breakdown. Why? She is unimportant to anyone but her boyfriend, yet she is more interested in another actor she just hired. What would be the purpose? Why make this movie? The ending - where it is explained what happened (if you make it that far), is another head scratcher... again, why? Garbage despite Ryder, Franco and the lovely Waterston. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The Letter is noir drama with an amateur feel (done intentionally?) and Lynchian vibe. Many people have disliked this movie; I can see why, but I go the other way. It is partly a matter of taste, as to whether or not you like films that have in them subtexts and hidden meanings; it is also partly a matter of execution. I think the Letter works well enough on both counts (not great but quite good). On a first viewing, I was expecting something more trippy and less cerebral, so I did not get much until the reveal at the end. The second time around I picked up much more. I think if one goes into the film treating it like a mystery or detective show, where you want to be reading people and guessing about them from the get-go, then the Letter will make for a much better view. Recommended to those who have a taste for the psychological. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
