Movie Info

Sybil Temtchine (Ten Benny, Passion of Ayn Rand) stars as a young woman who wakes up at dawn on the handprints and footprints of the famed Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with no idea who she or how she got there. Upon awakening, she wonders if she isn't, in fact, lost in a dream. And perhaps she is. Regardless of whether she is dreaming or wide awake, Our Gal sets off on her journey, from one person to the next, one famous locale after the other. Among the Hollywood fringe denizens with whom she

It's original and poetic, and if you see it you will probably remember scenes from it a year from now, because it's not really like anything else.

"Footprints" looks like a Jim Jarmusch film set inside an Edward Hopper painting.

Ambitious if airlessly microcosmic.

The script's so incoherent and the acting so amateurish that it makes the worst old-time Hollywood B-flick seem like "Citizen Kane."

This often risible head-scratcher never cracks the surface of its muddled ambitions, largely wasting its iconic settings on a series of motley interactions, Tinseltown trivia and self-conscious philosophizing.

From its "once upon a time" beginning to the anticlimactic end, "Footprints" remains fatally lodged in La-La Land.

It evokes a mood of wistful sadness at lives lost to dreaming.

Mostly appealing and thought provoking adult Hollywood fairy tale.

Will it change your life? Probably not, but it will entertain, and even if you do find it eventually gets too slow for your tastes, the film at least delivers enough memorable performances for you to at least walk away with something.

A disappointing feature directoiral debut, which amounts to no more than a tiresome, shallow tour of Hollywood Boulevard.

Some filmmakers and journalists like to promote the myth of Hollywood as a wonderful, harmless dream machine but that disingenuous notion is touchingly subverted in Steven Peros' Footprints.

A Hollywood mystery tale that's in no hurry to reach its destination.

[Seems] like a downmarket David Lynch knockoff, right down to a mysterious glowering man who occasionally appears out of nowhere.

The barely coherent Footprints seems bent on erasing any nostalgia one might have for Hollywood's heyday.

It all leads to some rather obvious bits of dialogue and down the rabbit hole of a half-baked, borderline incoherent conclusion.

Celebrates classic Hollywood and the wannabe starlets who flocked there...Engrossing and sweet if not particularly striking in execution.

Audience Reviews for Footprints

Just saw this movie last night. It was awesome, the acting was fantastic! The story multifaceted and fresh! Hard to believe it was created on such a microbudget, the director really understood how to use that to his advantage
January 14, 2012
What we see in FOOTPRINTS is the evolution of a woman's memory, energy and self-assurance that this time around, Hollywood welcomes her Inside...The notion of memory is poignant - in fact, we can all ask the same questions - are we given an identity by those around us which validates our reality? Or is it memories from our past and those who have since left us behind who confirm not only hopes but also our fears. The film techniques used by Steven Peros bring full use of light and color as our protagonist, Sybil Temtchine, takes each necessary step forward in finding her sense of belonging. She brings a complex vulnerability and subsequent truth to the role that makes each of us wonder if things were different, could we turn the steps of time back in order to find more acceptance.
