Film Review - Walter
March 12, 2015
“Walter” is a strange movie with big ideas it doesn’t confront in full. It’s a fantasy rooted in severe trauma, boasting a comedic opening and a crushing closer, trying to find a comfortable place where the story’s sincerity can be felt in full. The moment never arrives, but director Anna Mastro and screenwriter Paul Shoulberg offer interesting moments of psychological clarity as they attempt to address the ways people avoid the grieving process, slowly poisoning their own lives. It’s uneven work, but not without elements that come together quite well, including a game supporting cast skilled at bringing personality to picture, while lead Andrew J. West commits in full.
