Touchy Feely

Beyond anything that i ever can expect.. Seriously huge-er than you ever thought.. Like the title said , You'll feel it while you get absorbed by it's own kind of ambience ... :hands down:

What I like about Shelton's films (even on the films I'm not particularly enamored with) is that they're simple, unconvoluted, realistic and thought provoking. Also, she's a really good actor's director. Touchy Feely, though, shows none of it. It feels generic, too predictable and really not well staged. I just watched dozens of half assed ideas tossed together by some of the most talented artists in cinema.

It's a shame this was so disappointing. Interesting enough concept, but the execution was rather dull and messy. The only thing I can say I genuinely dug was Page.

A bunch of fairly dysfunctional people feeling their way out of their comfort zones. Amiable. Occasionally insightful. I'd like to have seen the story of Paul the Dentist as hapless new age messiah carried through a bit further. Some lovely cinematography - I especially liked the closeups with narrow depth of filed that peppered the movie; they added a distinctive visual flavor.

It is only a small cast but the casting director needed to get it right otherwise the screenplay would have fallen over. The excellent casting does justice to some well written and believable characters.

Touchy Feely begins strongly with some amazing scenes, and great chemistry between the actors, specifically Scoot McNairy and Rosemarie DeWitt. However, where the movie begins to fall apart is its ability to progress the plot in meaningful ways. Jenny's character arc feels incomplete, and the upbeat credits scene feels out of place. The cinematography is stunning and acting is amazing, but the plot feels very thin.

You must have been a pretty complex human being to genuinely love this dysfunctional portrait of a family. It's like trying to find the pieces of a puzzle that you don't even understand its outcome. I like how director Lynn Shelton brings about these strange, eccentric feelings from its characters. Good performances by Ellen Page, Rosemarie DeWitt, and by the everly awkward, Josh Pais.

With the storyline seeming so gracious, I expected something memorable but I guess I expected far much. It's not that the film was awful, it has it's perks, it's just the two main stories (a woman who is is unable to touch, a man who has a heeling touch) weren't really captivating. I was more interested in the relationship between Scoot McNairy and Ellen Page's character.
