The Matthew McConaughey of 2005’s Sahara now seems a million years ago. But after seeing his gaunt form in Dallas Buyers Club, you may want a touch of that lighter fare, where he plays a dashing hero who only reluctantly gets sucked into saving the world.
Ghoulish charm and creepy playfulness permeate this sparkling animation about a lonely girl who learns the real meaning of “too good to be true.” It also measures out a healthy dose of domestic common sense, though it is neither preachy nor direct, as well as a good bit of dark-humored irony more tuned to the adults than the young people in the audience.
A happy contradiction that promises more than it delivers, this mystic film conversely delivers more than it promises as well. The western Chinese desert is a haunting dreamscape of mythic characters that astound, bemuse, and confound as they drift through the shifting sands of this ancient, windblown wasteland.
The third part of this Indie trilogy draws you in with its witty banter and “unscripted” conversation. But don’t fall for it. A pseudo intellectual veneer covers what is essentially a shallow and vulgar core masquerading as something of worth.
The vast mountains are bigger than life; the liquid sunsets fill the screen. The actors, not so much. In fact, the pinched and imperfect humans featured here might even have a tough time taking up the wide screen in your living room. But for style and atmosphere alone, you can’t beat this gritty Western.
