Movie Recommendation Time: Why Stop Now.

A film that had Russovoir to a screaming peaceful feeling. But the unlikeliest of ever being so because it was nothing more than an inopportune comedy. Initially introduced as a short film Predisposed, in which could've still been a fitting movie title, Why Stop Now robs one of an emotion at pivotal scenes where emotional release was readily yielding and only limited to a vulgar frivolity.

Heart to one's sleeve, Russovoir had only Jesse Eisenberg as the simplest and indisputable motivation to watch. With his streak of intrepid roles in films that grew fondly of him ever since the brewing appeal for him from his first film of Russovoir's concern, that captivated him both the role he played and its storyline, Adventureland (2009), an Eisenberg film is like a Facebook notification: an irresistible sight. And boy was he ever in the movie.

"Nobody does anything great without their heart being into it."

Jesse Eisenberg is everything quaintly in one's eyes. He's a spectacle, really, a creature of interest, and Russovoir is a wilderness explorer. It's those little improvs he does on camera, missed by few, unappreciated by many: a stutter of a word, a repetition, the speed and modulation of enunciated delivery, the sentences fighting under his breath, the wry remarks, the blinding wit, the know-it-all fit, the timid stance, the distress in his eyes, the reluctance of his body, the facial expressions - the smile. What I shouldn't be doing when he does; the impulsive gestures, the blank stares of brooding. Truly, he is not a waste of screen time.



Eli Bloom (Eisenberg) has gifted hands, but fate couldn't have ill-drawn enough creases, for he is the son to a drug addict waitress and a Dad who never came bach. Inconvenient life situations are often experienced by mozart-ists, and because of these curses, life owed them a blessing. He has only two (2) hours to turn his blessing to a dream, but familial obligations collapse on him unsuspectingly, forcing a different, threatening note to a familiar piano piece.
