Oh cool

**Julie** · 08-14-2019, 11:41 AM

Looks really interesting, and it seems like Aaron will be great in this role as usual

desmondluverbrotha · 08-15-2019, 05:32 PM

True, he is pretty fabulous in the parts he is in

I really want to see this

Haven't really heard much about this movie, but here is a review:

Quote:

Many movies use striking images or close-ups of actors to help us see powerful performances. "The Parts You Lose" has all of that, but always in service of the story, much of it subtly filmed from Wesley's height and perspective. It also makes the most of the setting, a remote, hardscrabble small town in frigid, mid-winter North Dakota (filmed in Canada). There is snow everywhere, and Wesley's red knit cap stands out in the muted palette of neutral-toned overcoats and bare-limbed trees.

The first time Wesley sees the wanted man (Aaron Paul), he is lying motionless in the snow, an ominous dark blob in vast whiteness that would be powerful as an abstract image on the wall of a museum. Before we can wonder if he is still alive, he moves, and it happens to be exactly the form of communication best suited for Wesley to comprehend. He puts a finger to his lips to convey silence, a form of communication Wesley is very good at.

You won't see a better example of pure cinematic storytelling this year than "The Parts You Lose," an engrossing thriller about a young boy named Wesley (Danny Murphy) who befriends an injured criminal in hiding. Most of the movie is conveyed through his point of view, which is especially fitting because the central character is hearing-impaired. Wesley is a careful, thoughtful observer of the world around him, and this movie challenges us to look as closely as he does. Every frame is filled with significant, illuminating details.

Oh no, it sounded so promising

I still might have to see it.

**Julie** · 11-01-2019, 07:42 PM

Added another one

Oh thanks, at least someone liked it

**cherrypie12345** · 03-27-2020, 04:09 PM

Had anyone watched the movie?

**Julie** · 03-28-2020, 10:53 AM

Watching it now

desmondluverbrotha · 03-28-2020, 02:17 PM

Oh I found it on Showtime, I liked it. I would have picked another way to end it. I think Aaron was fantastic in it

Very few people could pull off a part like that, most of it was him and the kid alone, well done!

**Julie** · 03-31-2020, 07:11 PM

He is great in those kind of morally ambiguous roles. He could probably make any character likable and easy to empathize with. I can see why the kid would want to go with him over staying with his family, even though would not be a good idea to go with a fugitive

desmondluverbrotha · 04-01-2020, 08:51 AM

And sometimes he was mean to the kid, kind of reminded me of a kinder version of his father. Of course he did go out and risk everything to beat up the dad

**Julie** · 04-01-2020, 11:16 AM

Yeah and it seemed like the kid just felt that was better than staying at home which was sad. It was nice that he ended up with the money in the end, but he'll have to keep that from his parents somehow

desmondluverbrotha · 04-02-2020, 02:13 PM

At least until his mom leaves his dad
