I’m all for mumblecore…okay, maybe I’m only 62.3% for mumblecore. But could the mumblers at least open their eyes—if not their mouths—and create some visual interest in the frame?

How many more conversations in cars, shot from the backseat, must we endure? Give me a two-shot from the front, light emanating, Kiss Me Deadly-style, from a mysterious source located along the length of the dashboard, rear-projection in the back window ripping the landscape away from the car as it speeds through the night.

BEESWAX (2009), aside from its aesthetic lack, does casually depict the daily life of a paraplegic, something we don’t often see in film.
