Cinephile No. 586 "Claire in Motion"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

I don't know about you, but I find movies with unclear endings frustrating. Now, I realize they are supposed to be a reflection of the real world. There, not everything is wrapped up in nice and neat little packages. Things are often left unknown or are clear as mud. This doesn't make it any less challenging to handle. "Claire in Motion" spends almost two hours looking for a character we only know from a brief encounter. As the film progresses, you spend every minute paying close attention and gathering details for what you assume will guide you to some sort of satisfaction in the ending. Rather, you are left with just as many questions when the first frame rolled. For me, this is disappointing and a gimmick I don't appreciate. 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
