Preview: Nights and Weekends (2008)

• Poster: C

Review:

It captures the realism of the film's subjects, but it's not terribly enticing. The festival laurels might draw in a small crowd, but from a distance, I can't see how anyone would really be intrigued by it.

• Trailer: C

Review:

While I like a touch of cinema verit in movies, I don't know how good it could possibly with so very little happening in this trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

I don't see something so simplistic, even if it is philosophically deep, going over well with the Academy. They didn't even go for Into the Wild and it was more philosophically approachable to the Academy.

Release Date:
