Bringing Rain (Home Use)

This Movie Is Great, Original, Dead On Look At Teenage Years
A movie for people who want to see something strange and unique and different. An art house teen flick. One that has elements of old Jimmy Dean movies and new David Lynch movies.
A lot of the times when I get dvds off of Netflix, I am just amazed at how little risks are being taken in independent cinema these days. Bringing Rain is at least one movie I have seen in last few years that is it's own beast. The acting, directing, and writing is all raw-- but the talent is there in spades all around. Yes, it is very low budget, but if you go into this movie with an open mind, it is extremely rewarding. Adrian Grenier is almost unrecognizably great in this movie. Paz de la Huerta, as a coked out delusional movie star lover, is captivating. The supporting players-- Ryan Donowho, Alexis Dziena, Merritt Wever-- have all shown in both this movie, and their projects after, that they are some of the most talented young actors around. In twenty years I think people will look at this...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wow this is so bad it's beyond bad. OK this took all of about $500.00 to make i'm sure. The acting if you can call it that is bad, bad, bad, and where is the story. Ok so there is an accident that is eluded to but except for Adrians character and his g/f how are the others affected? It looks like a high school project film, actually i've seen high school projects that are 100% better than this. Now I see why Adrian, who is a good actor, had to do t.v. almost every movie this man did before Entourage is lousy.

Art Film 90210
What if 90210 had been made by Gus Van Sant?
Bringing Rain answers that question.
I rented this movie after seeing The Missing Person and Neal Cassady, by Noah Buschel.
I was wondering what his first film was.
Although it is plagued by a low budget the movie is exceptional in terms of it's mood and originality.
The cast is great.
A rough and raw movie that obviously could have used more money
but is great for what it is: A small indie about the pain of growing up.
