029. Redwoods

029. (23 Jan) Redwoods (2009, David Lewis) 53



There's some amazing sexual tension early on in Redwoods. It dissipates as the film progressively turns into a romance novel. A devoted partner and father finding love with a charming stranger isn't much conceptually, but Lewis at least creates plausible characters and relationships. That his main character is an accountant with abs is a bit of a stretch, but it's something that comes with the territory in this genre. The bitter, tragic twist in the end rings a little false considering the sentimental first hour.
