MCT:July 12, 2008Amazing movie. Sad story. Really nice movie. So awesome. I thought it was insane that the kid got people to pay him 40 dollars for a shirt. This movie was great.

MCT:March 12, 2008Canvas is kind of a mess of a movie with some really good qualities about it. Sadly the film's good doesn't make up for what's bad about the film.
To start with what's good about the film is the reliable and hugely underrated Joe Pantoliano giving another great performance and director Joseph Greco has a good story here. Now the problem is that Greco is a much better writer then a director. There's a lot of problems with the editing and the score is really distracting and quite simply bad. However I think the biggest problem is as good an actress Marcia Gay Harden maybe she's terribly miscast here. Yes I know it's difficult to play someone with a mental disease but it's so over the top and felt so unconvincing that it really messes up the entire film.
It's alright but you can't help but feel upset knowing that there's a great film hiding under a slightly above average TV movie. -
MCT:February 5, 2008I went into this expecting it to be a bit Lifetime movie-ish, but it wasn't at all, thanks in large part to extremely strong performances by Marcia Gay Harden and Joe Pantoliano. Harden provides a heartbreaking, very real portrayal of a woman suffering from schizophrenia, and Joe Pantoliano is great as her blue-collar husband trying to hold down a job, pay the bills, and keep his family together. Surprisingly well-done, I really enjoyed it.
