A Slipping Down Life Movie Review Message Board and Comments

I disagree with the reviews of "A Slipping Down Life". I loved this film. It was sweet, tender, and beautifully acted. Being from North Carolina, I was amazed at the authenticity of Guy Pearce's accent and mannerisms. They were perfect!! Lili Taylor gives an astute portrayel of a sheltered, innocent, late bloomer who suddenly awakens to the fact that she is attractive and she can break out of her shell. She discovers Drumstrings Casey from hearing him interviewed on the radio and she related as though she's known him forever. I found this so realistic. It happens, only in this film, she actually gets to know him and he falls in love with her, also. It's a touching, emotional relationship. Guy Pearc is really, really sensuous in this film. It seems like a natural fit for him.
