Review: Amy Redford's The Guitar

Friday November 7, 2008
The Guitar - Saffron Burrows - Amy Redford - Movie ReviewIf you were told you had two months to live, how would you spend your final days? In Amy Redford's debut film The Guitar, a mousy young woman (Saffron Burrows) moves into a killer loft and starts shopping. Is she a reprehensible character? Surprisingly, no. Isaach De Bankolé and Paz de la Huerta co-star in this charming fairytale about life, death, and the power of the credit card.

The Guitar opens today in limited release. Read Marcy's review.

Looks like a great film. And truthful–wouldn’t most of us go for beauty and comfort? I hope that it comes to a landmark near me for sure. Thanks for the great review.
