We watched "Your Beautiful Cul de Sac Home" last night, choosing it on it's premise and without knowing anything about the film. While the story line held promise, I found the delivery- or perhaps the editing- to be discontinuous and disjointed. It was a struggle to figure out relationships and to follow the story line. If the intent was to create an art film by creating a helter skelter feeling, the mark was sadly missed here as well. Rather, the style only served to obscure a clear understanding of what was actually going on, which served only to distract from what was otherwise an interesting plot and some solid acting. I felt characters were largely undeveloped, actions unexplained, and relationships unfulfilled. When the credits rolled, I thought maybe I had fallen asleep and missed an important explanation or sequence. My wife assures me that's not the case.
