Goliath!

Goliath  (2007)
So, as I was browsing the trailers of all the films playing at SXSW this year, I happened uppon this one, featuring a picture of a cat.  It may just be me, but my eye is immediately drawn to such an image. After watching the trailer, I was convinced. I couldn't let this one blow through town without my viewing.  All in all, its a very good film.  The Zellner brothers flawlessly fuse comedy with emotion.  The highs are uproarious, the lows devastating.  I could go through the whole thing bit by bit, but I think I'll stick to my favorite scenes.  The divorce signing scene in itself was worth the $10 ticket.  The quietest hilarity I have ever seen.  Another personal favorite was the scene depicting the main character's new co-workers, and how they amuse themselves.  The most brutal scene is definetely the climax, where the the main character finally lets out his aggressions on an unsuspecting, undeserving person.  The whole audience was gasping and squirming, but never looking away.  The ending is amazingly happy.  And that's all I shall say. A wonderful film. I would suggest it highly.
