what? 5/10

The_Wood

Watch the great acting closely, and you might forget you are watching a very incomplete film.  It boggles my mind how disappointing this film truly is. You have two wonderful actors, smart dialogue, and a great premise, how could you screw up?  The problem with Stanley & Iris is that it feels like it is missing major scenes.  The viewer has no sense of time what so ever with this film.  It moves at a break-neck pace which isn't called for.  If this film would have slowed down a little, explained some scenes a little clearer, you'd have a wonderful little film.  The condition of this film is a mess!! What a shame.

score 5/10
