YOU MUST HUNT DOWN THIS MOVIE AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF! I know it already won an audience award at another festival, but after having seen this movie at the San Fran L&G Film Fest on Thursday, I feel safe in saying it will continue to win. When the best feature is awarded on Sunday the 25th of June, BIG EDEN will be the winner. I hope this movie gets wide release. I love it~hear that as Molly Shannon might say it! I want to eventually own this movie. What if Dr Joel on Northern Exposure had been gay....that's the closest I can come to giving you an idea about this movie. The acting is superb, the writing natural and the characters endearing. Cliche as it may be....it will make you laugh/it will make you cry. Even with disruptive projector problems halfway thru the movie, it won people over at my screening. I turned to the guy beside me and said it was already MY favorite in the festival at that point. I was overwhelmed at the ending and was overjoyed that the rest of the theater felt the same way. When was the last 5 minute standing ovation you gave a film and film maker? I felt so incredibly thrilled for that young man. Full house capacity at a huge theater all telling you that you did good work! WOW! Congratulations on a job well done, and that is putting it mildly. You will not be sorry if you see Big Eden! Big Eden is UTOPIA!
score 10/10
