MOVIE REVIEW: How I Got Lost from the FirstGlance Film Fest
posted by Josh Middleton
In this week’s Agenda section, Josh Middleton wrote about the FirstGlance Film Festival. Below is his review of fest entry How I Got Lost:
Based on his 2005 short of the same name, Joe Leonard’s How I Got Lost is the re-coming of age story of a bored sports journalist Jake (Jacob Fishel) and his drunken friend (Aaron Stanford, Tadpole) embarking on a spontaneous road trip from Manhattan to podunk Ohio. Fallen on hard times, the guys encounter situations along the way that teach them to work through issues they’ve struggling to resolve at home. The storyline mainly stays with the ruggedly handsome, but oh-so sensitive, Jake, who is marred by an earlier, unexpected break-up. In Ohio, he lets go, courtesy of a little sexual healing provided by Leslie, a no-nonsense diner waitress played smartly by Rosemarie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married). Back in New York, however, there are more heartbreaking surprises in store, which further instill his motivation to keep moving on.
The quick, 87-minute run time makes for a seamless flow from start to finish. While some of the point does get lost in quick transitions from setting to setting, this is a charming, buzzworthy film that’s worth all the noise.
Shown with Until The Sun, Eiko and Martin, Sun., Oct. 25, 8 p.m., Franklin Theater, 222 N. 20th St., firstglancefilms.com.
