“This is a great example of ultrafine filmmaking that simultaneously courts convention, and then proceeds to transcend it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt starts up as straight-up storytelling bolstered by a focus on character/scenario development, and winds up being quite close to mythic. Doris starts out as a u0026quot;characteru0026quot;, but ends up as a goddess. Thatu0026#39;s a laudable achievement for film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis flick, more than many, gets my inner wheels turning, pondering the production process that brought together so many fine talents to produce such a fine film product. After watching so many hi-tech, meticulous productions that skimp on narrative/mythic depth, itu0026#39;s nice to see a mid-tech product that really does deliver the goods.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCheck it out.”
