Indie film memories

Brothers McMullen takes me back to a time when it felt like anyone with a passionate idea and talented friends could make an indie film. I never realized how much Brother McMullen feels like a slicker, mainstreamed aimed version of Clerks (1994).It's overwritten, but well acted. The script by young Ed Burns is firmly planted in 90's ideology and culture. It's a world I remember and miss. One that I can't help but see the wonderful flaws within.Connie Britton is beautiful and tragic as Molly, the young wife who's betrayed by her jerkoff husband. Burns himself carries load with his early movie star quality. Mike McGlone, always under appreciated in his time, is the movie's soul. It doesn't work with out him and his genuine 1995 anxiety.These shoestring budget, film school style indies are missing from our current movie going world. Check out the Brothers for a solid character study.

To help put things in perspective-

Although everyone so far has praised this movie (as they should!), its been mentioned that there are some minor flaws like film quality etc... For the record, this movie was filmed as an independent for something like $35,000, a measly sum which makes the movies' overall beauty all the more amazing. Shooting so cheap requires even more directoral skill and personal vision. This is the true testament to Burn's impressive talent.
