Bubble (2005)***
Bubble is a good flick. It's too short though. Painfully realistic scenes. Shot on high def digital cameras using non-professional actors, found locations, natural lighting. Soderburgh still manages to get some beautiful images. In the bonus material on the DVD he says he would shoot for a few days then edit for a couple days then shoot again. By the end of the shoot, they were able to watch the completed film. That's just not a normal process and I believe the film might have been better if he had taken his time a bit more. There's a lot of potential here but it doesn't feel totally realized. Still, it is an interesting film and I recommend it.
