Seth Green's directorial Changeland gives off a vibe not unlike Garden State, which is to say it's a soundtracky sad comedy where the main character feels like he's underwater. His marriage has fallen apart, but he planned an Anniversary trip to Thailand well in advance, so he goes with his best friend and tries to get his head in order. Breckin Meyer seems the perfect friend to bring, because he's the fun-loving type who won't let you have a bad time, but one of my triggers is the kindness of strangers, and there were so many moments like that, random encounters that squeezed my heart for all it's worth. It's a slow burn, this journey of self-ownership, but it pays off. Early on, you may wonder if we need yet another boat tour, and whether Southern Thailand is getting a tourism ad for free, but it can't be said the place isn't beautiful. Green and his cinematographer Patrick Ruth certainly know how to shoot it, but are good with the little things too. It's a visual film, and part of the appeal is going with its flow, which not coincidentally, is exactly the lesson the protagonist must learn. And what about all those street cats! 2 years 6 months ago -
