Felt

Felt is a fascinating movie-one that belongs on this year's list of "you've never seen anything like it!"

In its own fascinating and sideways manner, 'Felt' acknowledges and addresses the oft-ignored darkness at the center of these mass entertainments, and reframes their emotional and political implications.

It's a reminder that while genre movies usually look toward violence, there's just as rich territory to be explored in what happens after it, in the marks it leaves that go beyond the physical.

In choosing to cover so much breadth of ground, Felt falls well short of any meaningful examination of the gender issues plaguing American and world culture.
