Polley Does Good

Sarah Polley's feature debut, Away From Her, is getting good grades. Nice to see a Canadian film getting good reviews for a change.

That said, will I go see this? Probably not. It just seems to easy, somehow. Aging + Sickness + Canadian = Melodrama. I don't tend to like melodrama unless the credits read "Sirk" shortly after "Directed By".

Still, much like cheering on the local sports team, I feel compelled to say; "Go Team!" Seriously, if this does well, maybe she'll stop acting.
