Brad's Status [DVD]

BRAD’S STATUS, starring Ben Stiller, is a gleaming gem that shouldn’t be missed. I started laughing from the opening scene and continued doing so until it dawned on me that I was crying. Small, modest and utterly without pretense, it achieves a level of truth and emotional impact that is far beyond that of more exalted studio films. Michael White’s script is a wonder and the cast is stellar. Ben Stiller delivers the best performance of his career (his narrative voiceover alone, is probably the best I’ve heard) and Austin Abrams is profoundly good. He touches upon an authenticity of the rarest kind.(Besides writing the screenplay, Michael White also directed and plays a role in the movie. I’m blown way by the fact that he also wrote BEATRIZ AT DINNER, another film I found impactful in 2017.)

"Brad's Status" captures beautifully and brilliantly the process and conscious states anxious parents go through in wanting their children to attend elite universities and colleges. I think parents who have children approaching college age would find this movie most appealing and illuminating.

A truly great film, sad that it flopped at the box office, maybe 20 years from now it will be deemed a classic.

A beautifully done character study between father and son. It is fascinating to watch the dynamics between the two as dad is not so sure that his son thinks highly of him (which is not so), and only confirms dad's belief that he never measured up to the people he hung around with earlier in life.Overall, this is a solid film to watch.

This is the 3rd booklet In have bought from this author in this format and this one is because of the new rules for 2019.Perfect for carrying in your bag enabling quick decision making.Beat to store in a sealed bag to keep dry as pages can stick together if they get damp.Very good.
