Reviews for Emotional Arithmetic
A piece of advice for Canadian filmmakers -- don't make movies out of dreary CanLit novels. They're easy enough to spot.
Earnest and fact-filled ... and completely inert; it's like looking at a civics class diorama.
There's a dense compression here that's meant to be elliptical and allusive but has just the opposite effect. Rather than resonate, the compression suffocates the life out of the picture and every actor in it.
