A Portrait from the Inside
Greetings again from the darkness. A good story overcomes many flaws for a movie and this is a prime example. Inconsistent direction by Shainee Gabel and a weak Cajun accent by John Travolta did not ruin what I found to be very interesting subject matter. Although we never see the local legend, Lorraine, her impact on this strange troupe of characters is beyond question. Watching Scarlett Johansson’s quest to unlock her mother’s mystique (and her own history) proved very enjoyable for this viewer. Johansson’s Purcy Will (named after a weed) is both head strong and independent, while vulnerable and eager. Travolta’s iconic Bobby Long and the even-keeled Gabriel Macht are nothing more than alcoholic shells of men who trade literature quotes when Purcy pops into their lives. Much of this is predictable and the flavor that is New Orleans plays a huge part of the feel of the film. Although the novel was difficult to bring to the screen, and improvements could have been made, this film should find an audience. Johansson may a bit “old” for this role (at the ripe age of 20) but her acting skills continue to grow and I love that she is always up for a challenge. She should be fun to watch for years to come.

The Good & Bad Of ‘A Love Song For Bobby Long’
This was different and generally an interesting character study of three people. The down side was too much profanity, too much bickering and too much “attitude,” mainly from Scarlet Johannson’s character, “Pursy Will,” but also from Johnn Travota’s. Johannson seems to be almost typecast in these roles, the spoiled, snotty young girl, ever since her 1998 performance in “The Horse Whisperer.” I am hoping assuming she has grown out of these roles by now, or will shortly, although she is still only in her young 20s.

That doesn’t mean Scarlett didn’t do a fine job of acting in here. She did, along with the two male leads: John Travolta and Gabriel Macht. By and large, Travolta, who plays the title role of “Bobby Long,” has played a lot of interesting characters in the last two decades and his acting seems to get better and better. I rarely see a film of his that isn’t at least entertaining. Macht is a new face but he was good, too, and his character “Lawson Pines” was, by far, the nicest person of the three.

So, if you like good acting and appreciate outstanding cinematography, which this movie boasts and don’t mind soap-opera-type stories, you should like this film very much. This has a certain fascination to it, but I got tired of the constant profanity and negative personalities of two of those three main characters so I lost interest by the halfway mark. If you can stay with it, though, there is a rewarding finish for you, as the three main characters slowly learn more about each other. It’s also a wonderful look at the city of New Orleans. I can’t say enough about the photography by Elliot Davis in this movie.
