Little Miss Sunshine / U.S.A. / 2006

There’s nothing particularly objectionable about this road movie/family comedy drama — just surprise that it should have garnered so much critical and audience acclaim. It’s pretty much what “independent cinema” seems to represent in America nowadays — put it beside true indie spirits like Mysterious Skin and Keane and this pleasant enough film turns inconsequential and forgettable. (And, needless to say, as someone finally getting towards the end of Time Regained – seventh volume of the greatest novel ever – not believing in Steve Carell’s America’s No. 1 Proust Scholar doesn’t help me like the film any more.)
