Review of Canvas

Canvas (2006)
10/10
A movie for people that love great dramatic stories
22 January 2007
If 'Saw' is your thing, or 'X-Men", this movie isn't for you. This is the art of storytelling--no gratuitous gore, just heartbreaking sorrow that will make you feel to the depth of your soul. No razzle dazzle special effects, just beautiful symbolic imagery that will take your breath away. This is a movie like they should be made: solid characters, real drama created by powerfully quiet moments that build and intensify until you become part of the story itself. An incredible film with a brutally honest portrayal of family trauma--something everyone will understand because we all have families, and we all have dysfunction somewhere in our life.
