FOUR DVD Review
Synopsis:
In a nameless, suburban American town, the smell of barbeque fills the air as
Fourth of July celebrations move from a hot summer day into night. Joe, a man
who works hard and travels a lot, leaves his family behind for the holiday,
citing a business trip. Abigayle, his precocious daughter, is left to tend to
her ill mother and manage the house on her own, yet again. Seeking just enough
attention to get her through another night of her lonely responsibilities, she
turns to Dexter, a former high school basketball star whose best days are behind
him. And while Abigayle is out with Dexter, Joe is quietly spending time around
town with June, a young man he met online who s struggling to accept himself.
And for just this night, the small world that these four live in will become
even smaller, though the freedom they experience has never been so dangerous,
fleeting and honest. Adapted from Obie-winning, Pulitzer Prize-nominee
Christopher Shinn s highly-acclaimed stage play, Four is full of the poetic and
tender human drama of great theatre. STAR POWER! Wendell Pierce (The Michael J.

Review: Four is a thought provoking film that is more of an art piece. It centers around the lives of four people on the fourth of July. The number four pervades the entire piece. The movie shows the interconnecting pieces of these four people's lives. Dealing with disease, closeted homosexuality, loss and desire. This one will most definately challenge you and make you think. Its a wonderful watch and we highly recommend.
