The Other Side of the Tracks (2008)

That was an excellent one.

A different way of telling a story

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Beautiful, subtle, complex and ultimately gratifying. This film is a masterpiece of misdirection, (actually several misdirections), understatements, and events and scenes which, when introduced, cause the viewer to re-orient and re-interpret what preceded. However, the "new" understanding has to be scrapped as yet another scene layers another interpretation. The question at the end remains: agonal* dream, supernatural events, real life? Which is which, or are the interpretations mutually exclusive? Some class this film as "horror," but, if it's horror, it's an entirely different brand - no chain-saws, no slashing, only a few brief scenes of what appears to be an animated dead body- even these can be interpreted at the time of viewing, as nightmares being experienced by the protagonist. This is my kind of movie. *agonal - pertaining to death or extreme suffering.

As stated in my title, I'm "stuck in the middle" with the movie. It is a very haunting piece. Given the film's ending, I decided to watch this again to take the lines and characters in once more. Having certain religious beliefs, I don't condone the story's plot at all, but I am a definite fan of Fehr. I must say that the cinematography/photography is absolutely STUNNING. Watching a second time gave me a chance to notice the individual raindrops on the "Tracks'" windows, the glorious colors of the flowers, and the overall arrangement of the scenes. When the movie is shown, I flip to another channel. It is very thought provoking but if you are of a particular faith, this movie will not set well with you. I gave this movie a 9 out of 10 due to its overall picturesque appeal......

Saw this on Showtime this week and loved it. Wasn't really expecting anything and was surprised to find a cool independent film on a major cable network. The music was great and the haunting feel of the story made me want to snuggle up with my guy. Googled it and saw the film is a bit old. Not sure why its just coming out. Definitely the kind of movie you want to watch more than once. In fact I've already watched it twice. Lots of twists that put things in a diff perspective. Chad Lindberg is amazing. I love ghost stories but don't like too much blood and gore, so this was perfect for me. Haunting and suspenseful, but not too scary (well, except for one or two good "jumps" :) Recommend it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I was thinking about the movie all night afterward and more the next day. A friend I saw the movie with, called to mention that he keeps thinking about the movie too.The last movie that left me thinking so much afterward was "A Beautiful Mind". This is a very well-thought-out story and one that people of all ages would enjoy. It's hard to categorize this movie as it seems to qualify as a romance, thriller, horror, and perhaps even drama.I can't wait to see it again. My wife and daughter are very eager to see this after hearing all of my feedback.
