Praying with Anger

47.

M. Night's debut film is essentially a student film and a pretty uninteresting one honestly. I'll give M. Night some credit on playing the main character and having a passable music score in it, but that's really all the good things. The performances are amateur and it doesn't leave much of an impression. It's kind of cool there were little glimpses of dialogue and ideas in this film that foreshadow what movies M. Night would make in the near future. Oh well, you gotta start somewhere.

Three months in the life of a young American in India having to face intense experiences of love (makes a good friend, falls for a girl), loss (the heritage of his late dad) and hate (the college bullies). Pretty by the numbers and bloated -- the boring music makes sure you feel bored --, but not that bad for a little student film.

Interesting poster. Shyamanlan's first. Not worth it.
