“Addicted to Fresno is full of artfully-crafted deadpan situations that probably created quite a few amusing bloopers. The star Natasha Lyonne has great control of her expression. The other actors and actresses complement her talents well, but she really stood out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePresumably, this was a low budget movie but nevertheless the cinematography was excellent. As a photographer, I often was impressed with how well the lighting was controlled (for example, the poetry scene on the loading dock; scenes in the hotel hallway, never a good lighting situation; the pet cemetery scene). OK, maybe most people wouldnu0026#39;t care about these details, but if the producer had not properly lit these scenes, the movie would not have been as pleasant to watch even if nothing else had changed. Appreciate what you donu0026#39;t notice as much as what you do notice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonu0026#39;t look for any deep philosophical plot; just take the movie as the comedy that it was intended to be. Loved it.”
