The Oranges (2011)
Directed by Julian
Farino this film stars Hugh Laurie, Leighton Meester, Alia Shawkat,
Alison Janney, Oliver Platt and Catherine Keener. After 5 years away
a rebellious daughter returns home to cause havoc between two
families.
There are a few
problems with this film but the main one seems to be that it is not
sure whose story it is telling, it is told from the point of view of
one daughter but she gets the least screen time and is not even the
focal point of events. When it comes to the moral of the story it
does seem a bit like the film is suggesting you should just do what
you want and ignore the possible impact on others which is not
especially nice. About the only highlight of the film is Hugh Laurie
who gives a surprisingly subtle performance that is excellent.
2/5
