The Backyards

Ahhh 3 Backyards, where to start? The best thing about this film was
one single minor character and each scene (only 3) she was in. This
character is unknown except for five or six lines, is beautiful in a
kind of creepy way an is purportedly poor and/or mentally disabled...
she has an accent that could be Haitian or French. Generally this
movie appeared to be three seperate short films put together without
any coherence. If you had to diminish this down to it's basic
components the only semblance of conguency would be liberal use of
grassy areas that are considered "backyards". The director Mendlesohn,
though very gracious, did not show us a film we were expecting. Most
everyone in line was comparing this to "Magnolia" but this was on the
complete opposite spectrum. Litterally we wanted to not vote for it,
but if we did not vote the lowest possible we would not have been
counted at all.
