Good Life Lesson - Ruby's Choice

This film provides a good life lesson for many young people. There is something to be gained by being patient and listening to older adults. The fine acting and directing in this film is apparent from beginning to end. Even though we know where the film is going, it is still an enjoyable trip. Michael Budd has a promising future in film. Giles does a fine job as the granddaughter asked to share her room with Jane Seymour (and if she is denied, I would be glad to have her as my roommate). This is fine family entertainment with a brain, so feel free to bring your older children to see it. I finally got some good use out of my free passes. One of the few good films of 2022.

RUBY'S CHOICE IS A VERY BASIC CHOICE - DON'T CHOOSE THIS

It's attack of the mediocre Aussie film - but this one has the right intentions, a few nice songs and locations and but a great cast but that's unfortunately where it ends. This film has very poor storytelling and lackluster execution in directing. The film is an easy watch, but at the core its BASIC - it really doesn't evoke much heart, you feel sorry for Ruby at some moments but you DONT really feel her journey. The film suffers from many different problems, one being that it didn't have the correct structure, it didn't know which direction it was going in. The film played it very safe and didn't go all the way exploring dementia at its fullest. There are some strange scene jumps and strange awkward editing that leave you confused. There is a huge lack of music which could have helped drive the bad writing and also some very cringy moments - usually around teens doing things that are odd and unnatural. It suffers from repeating tropes from other films instead of trying to create its own originality. I mean you can see from the lack of love for the trailer and especially the amateurish poster that this was going to be a basic film, the poster says it all. Adding to that was the very basic cinematography, the lack of lighting correctly and over lighting most scenes was a shock especially when they somehow convinced Jane Seymour to appear in this film. There was nothing visually aesthetic about the look of the film and it looks like a student possibly color graded the film. I really wanted to like even love this film, but it didn't land at all, and I have seen the director's horror film - which they reference in the film as being a great film and that is a horrible film - which I will also review after giving it a second watch. Overall, a basic easy film to watch, shot nicely but basically, stellar acting by Jacquelline McKenzie and Jane Seymour and most of the cast. Misses the mark by a longshot because it doesn't pull on any emotions and it just didn't connect.

Good- but whose brother is he?

Good movie. Realistic and lots of interesting details.

But one thing confused me. The guy and his son who moved in with Sharon and Doug. - Whose brother is he? If he's Sharon's brother, then .... more details needed. And if he's Doug's brother then Ruby isn't Ned's grandma.

My friend and I argued over this for awhile.
