It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I enjoyed watching this film. The dialogs are excellent, and so is the acting, the picture, as well as the film musical score. Ms. Puccini, the director, really does a great job mixing the story and the flashbacks, and I loved how the characters' personalities are slowly built up throughout the movie, as the four main characters' stories intersect and complement each other. The dialogs are interesting, and the film never has a down moment, and it is truly enjoyable from beginning to end. In fact, it is not just enjoyable and interesting to watch, but this is also a film that can become a topic of discussion and reflection. It is a must see for anybody who cares about new films.

Four Corners of Suburbia is an impressive ensemble piece that tackles relationship issues with grace and intelligence. The writing--particularly the dialogue--is poetic and thought-provoking. The performances are absolutely riveting and kudos must be paid to Ms. Puccini for her skillful direction--clearly she is an actors' director. Marked by tight close-ups, the cinematography adds to the intimacy of the film. Lastly, the score is hauntingly beautiful. It was so refreshing to experience a film that delivers on both artistic and entertainment levels. This is a film stays with you. Needless to say, I am anxiously awaiting Ms. Puccini's next feature.

Saw the film last night in NYC at the Pioneer. Good popcorn! The character Benjamin was wonderful. He spoke movingly about his struggle as a painter. This is a must-see film for any aspiring artist or writer. The previous comment by Zizzerfilm has it right -- the acting in this film is really superb. This is not your typical indie-flick; it has more of a European flavor. One critic said, "a bed-room Bergman drama." Well, it certainly has two gorgeous blonds. All the characters are stuck on an island off the coast of Maine which certainly has the look and feel of the Scandanavian coast. I don't think the great master would be at all displeased by this comparison.
