Fábula Americana

Even more, simpler that I thought it would be! The story it's quite simple, really. The ending seems abrupt, but it's not really, by the last scene everything is solved... there's nothing to add. Or at least I don't need anything else to add. It's true, there are a few details that I don't know what they mean, and maybe I'm missing something and I didn't realise of something, but as I've understood it makes sense and there's not a lot more to add, even from those details "unsolved" for me. The cinematography is very good, everyone is very good on their roles, and it's a different take on a thematic seen many times before. Good movie. I wonder though what was those details... will update this review if I ever find out!

I find it strange but mostly harsh to read so many one star reviews for a movie that was entertaining from beginning till the end. I agree that the end could have been better explained but overall it's still much better than any of those negative reviewers want you to believe. The story is about friendship and compassion, not so much a thriller (I wouldn't have categorized it in that genre), but more as a drama with some decent actors, especially the twelve year old Peyton Kennedy. I wouldn't listen too much to the negative reviewers, just watch it and make your own conclusion, I'm sure you'll find it better than those pathetic one star reviews (I guess those people only watch a movie once a month or so).

Really loved this movie. Have to admit that much of what I liked about the film is visual; it's really visually stunning. I think the (director? idk who does this part but...) scenic vistas of farmland are meant to cause a yearning, a pull, an ache for things to be "right" and "good" and "just." Especially beautiful because these vistas are always shown in twilight of the morning or evening; something so quiet and reverent, something so pure and almost holy about it. Like innocence about to be shattered somehow. You find yourself cheering for "Gitty," the main character; a brave young girl whose conscience is more developed (sadly perhaps) than those of the adults in her life. Don't want to give anything away because it's too enjoyable to watch without knowing what happens, but just to say that the allegories of "fables" is sort of woven into the plot, and it reminded me a bit of "Spirited Away," where a young girl has to be brave and have courage and character to be victorious.

We're living in country very reminiscent of the film's ___location, so there was a heightened appeal to the scenery for us, but honestly, this movie rises far above the attractiveness of its setting. It's a little unusual in that a major part of the drama hangs on the relationship between the father and daughter who greatly resemble each other. I found then both easy to listen to and watch. Both actors do a great job in their roles and they carry most of the picture with substantial help from this first time director who tells her story very effectively.

I've read criticism of the plot and the non-resolution of various issues brought up, but as one who needs murder mysteries and spy dramas to make perfect sense, a story mostly from a child's point of view set on a farm doesn't have to come together like a puzzle. I enjoyed this film and look forward to more from this interesting director.

This movie was pretty good! it was filmed really beautifully and the acting from the main character Giddy was executed really well. It was also told from her point of view which was really interesting. I don't know why most people from this movie hard to follow, i found it really straight forward. It's worth a watch.
