PERFORMANCE OF THE DECADE

by Optimism

Yes. Robert Duvall gives THE performance of the decade in the slowly-unfolding yet mesmerizing, surprisingly beautifully-written movie, "Get Low". The film kinda' took our breath away! Acting and plot were superb. A.masterwork. We were enthralled. Thanks, Zanucks.

Underappreciated Gem

by Mad movie guy

This movie is definitely one of the best this year, yet i doubt many will see it because it gets no hype or advertising.

Nice cinematography, good story and excellent acting are its strong points. Great roles played by Robert Duval, Sissy Spacek, and Bill Murray, not to mention a great cast of others.

The fact that it has no CGI, car chases, explosions, gratuitous sex, or naked women will ensure that kids and those who aren't interested in solid movie making will never see it.

Such a shame because i was pleasantly surprised. If you do not fit into the above category but instead value a truly good film then check it out.

Get Low

by msflickchick

I enjoyed this movie because of the exceptional acting abilities of its cast. Robert Duvall is
wonderful in the lead role and Cissie Spacek is, as usual, a wonderful actor as well. The
storyline was interesting and enjoyable. The cinematography is lovely and the explanation at
the end of the story tied in what really happened when the house caught fire (at the begin-
ning of the movie.) The character study was done very well. I really like period movies - and
this was one that expressed itself quite well. I think that besides adults, high school and
college students would appreciate it as well. The director of this film made very good use of
the sets and designs where the action took place in terms of the period of the time.

Very good acting, cinematography

by jknapp1005

I liked this movie, alot. Engaging characters, an interesting subplot, great acting, wonderful setting and great period music (30's) make for a very watchable event. The theater was sold out. I think most people were satisfied. I can't believe the average fan rating is "so-so". What movie did they watch?

Spacek Does It Again. What an actor!

by lovefilmIDO

Pay attention from first second.The decisions in this film are spot on, from the cast, settings, music, coloring of the film, editing, directing.You just don't get this kind of perfection often on the big screen.It seems filmmakers have mostly forgotten about art, but here we see art in it's full perfection.Can't recommend this for those who need blood and guts, but certainly for anyone with a tuned love of filmmaking.It does not disappoint.

Sissy Spacek is mesmerizing and she puts the film over the top.Bill Murray's part is a bit of a challenge for him, but he finishes it off very nicely.He really needed more screen time.Duval never disappoints in this one.He really "looks" like this recluse, so that wasn't an issue for him at all.His chance to have a role with real grit.His talents are put to full use, every moment. Lucas Black was just perfect for this role as the quiet, even shy husband and employee of BIll Murray.Bill Cobbs was perfect!

Go See It!

A well spun story, intelligent and compelling. They give nothing away while drawing you into a deeper investment in the characters. Your guesses will change as the information is deliberately metered out. Thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Quality start to finish!

by ArmoBuyerF

In a Summer of so-so, this movie stands out. Murray holds his own alongside Duvall and Spacek who are at the top of their games. A plot you follow carefully, in a beautifully shot, rich textured presentation. JUST GO.

Get Low

by panthercityhorn

A tour de force for Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, and Bill Murray. Such big budget movies should have performances as amazing as Get Low. In limited release, this movie deserves to be seen by anyone who appreciates great acting and a marvelous screenplay. The members of the audience in the theatre where I saw this movie stood and clapped at the finish. I am not one to buy DVD releases, but this one will be purchased for it bears viewing now and again. There should be awards for this cast and this movie if there is any justice at Oscar time.

Redemption for All

by kellygirl59

I went in expecting a comedy, and although there were laughs, they were character-driven, not formulaic, in this period drama with an outstanding cast headed by Robert Duvall, probably the greatest living actor. With an unpopular notion that we must all pay for our wrongdoing, Felix Bush (Duvall) lives like a hermit as a self-imposed sentence for a tragedy he apparently caused some 40 years earlier. Time and again Felix entertains the idea of being redeemed from his sin, but cannot forgive himself, even when an old preacher insists that God will forgive if he would only ask. The audience is left to wonder throughout most of the film concerning the tragedy as the unlikely figure endears himself to the one person in the film who is not angry with or afraid of him and refuses to take advantage of him for financial gain. This is a good film, with terrific acting and deserves to be seen by more than will probably take the chance on it.

REVIEW OF GET LOW

by forelle999

A GOOD OLD FASHIONED MOVIE WITH SUPERB PERFORMANCES BY THE MAJOR CHARACTERS. IT CONJURES UP A RURAL SOUTHERN COMMUNITY IN THE 1920's.
THERE MAY BE SOME PEOPLE WHO FIND THE MOVIE TOO SLOW MOVING
ALTHOUGHT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE WITH ME.

Original Plot, Superbly Acted.

by tramnineteen

The plot of this movie is very fresh and does not reveal itself too quickly keeping your interest the entire way through. The sets and costumes are very enjoyable and well done. However, it's the acting that sets it apart. Almost every character is so perfectly acted. The actors do a great job or representing complex, sincere characters.

Get Low

by bill1972

Great movie, maybe a bit slow moving for some. However the movie slowly reveals Felix the main character to the audience just as he does so to the community in the plot. Kind of like peeling an onion layer by layer. It is also portrays an excellent example about rumors and here say. Robert Duvall is great as Felix, a good man caring a burden for most of his adult life. Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek are great as well. The only thing lacking is the development of the other main characters. We get a short synopsis but not enough. Not many movies today are worth the money but this one definitely is!
