Wrong medium

Goodbye World (2013)

Directed by Denis Hennelly this film stars Adrian Grenier, Gaby Hoffmann, Ben McKenzie, Berry Bishe and Caroline Dhavernas. Thirty something college friends visit a couple living off the grid as a major event cuts out power for the whole nation.

While there are some interesting ideas here the view point of this film is always too American centric. The story actually seems like it would have better fit a pilot or first season of a television show as it tries to cram in far too much character back story at the expense of dealing with the events of the story. Generally the film is fairly well made and acted but is kind of a disappointment.


3/5
