Review of Green Card

Green Card (1990)
7/10
The little morsel that grew.
22 November 2001
The more I see this simple little expository on human relationships the more I see in the little human relationships in this simple expository. Obviously not a Hollyrock special, this film is actually a French-Australian production collaboration that is wide shot (very wide shot) in Nyerk. No chase scenes, no violence, no blood, no gore, no sex, no language (unless you understand French); you might say that this is good family entertainment except that the emotions and relationships that are explored are not meant for children. Yes, it is a comedy, but it is a one hanky comedy. Even the sound track explores the range of emotional relationship music (everything from Mozart to Enya, who isn't Mozart by the way).

I rated this a seven because (I probably need to watch this a few more times) the ending sucked. I personally think Weir was running fast and loose with the INS and this caused the film to end without resolution of the main characters' relationship. But if you like the New York City ambiance, sophisticated, intelligent relationships and a good cast of pro actors you will like this film.
