Film Review – Anything

Writer/director Timothy McNeil makes a love story with “Anything,” but not necessarily a tender one. Dewy feelings and meet cutes are in short supply here, with the material angling for a different understanding of personal connection, with broken people, not cartoony ones, discovering something special during their time together. McNeil labors to keep the endeavor away from predictability, and his overall control of tone occasionally fails him, but he does manage to locate warmth in the midst of minor upheavals. “Anything” eventually reaches tenderness, but the climb there is more interesting, examining characters figuring out who they are and what they want while experiencing difficult challenges to their mental health while living in the middle of a place many consider to be an absolute hellhole: Hollywood.  Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
