Review of Automatic

Automatic (I) (2005)
9/10
Thoughtful
14 April 2006
Thoughtfully written and well acted, it is an interesting depiction of a group of people, some of whom we come to care about. Eventually we are disappointed that they do not move forward and away from their problems, but, that's real life. Every character seems to suffer from a persistent self involvement and basic disregard for others. We see rare glimpses of compassion. One cannot help but think that if these people really put themselves in the others' shoes, they would do better in life. All in all it is very realistic and natural and the actors leave us wanting to know more. It was shot in Houston, but it feels like it could be anywhere. The music is good, too.
