Charlotte Sometimes (2002)
Member Rating:  
Four twentysomethings living in the hip L.A. suburb of Silverlake struggle with love, lust, and ennui in this independently produced feature, nominated for two 2003 Independent Spirit Awards. Taking its title from the Cure song of the same name, Charlotte Sometimes concerns the shadowy existence of Michael (Michael Idemoto) and Lori (Eugenia Yuan), next-door neighbors who form an intimate -- if sexless -- friendship. Lori, committed to her sexually carnivorous boyfriend, Justin (Matt Westmore), but more emotionally connected to Michael, tries to convince her platonic neighbor to find a girlfriend. Fed up with his unrequited love for Lori, Michael does just that, hooking up with the dark and mysterious Darcy (Jacqueline Kim). But as Michael navigates his budding romance with Darcy, jealousies erupt with the other couple, and the secrets the co-eds withhold from each other threaten to break the two relationships apart. Written, directed, and edited by first-time filmmaker Eric Byler, Charlotte Sometimes had its premiere at the 2002 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The story line itself is rather interesting about the three people involved in friendship and becomes more interesting as it goes on, but slow moving.. The work is by beginners and very noticable with the lighting in particular. Very difficult to follow what was happening, or the drama of the facial expressions in the darkness...Alittle filtering would have been better, and I wouldn't feel as though I missed much of the movie..M

The plot is interestingly unique. It is a little slow, but that just adds to the plight of Michael's pathetic being. Understandably so for all unrequited love affairs. I loved the feel of how the movie was made. Makes me feel like I'm actually observing it happen infront of me. I liked the cast, although I would have liked somebody else play Lori... ;-)

There much better movies on more or less the same type of subjects.
