Our City Dreams (2008)

So I watched another documentary. Sometimes I do it just because they tend to be shorter, and last night I was low on time. We spent a very long and exhausting day taking the kids to their various therapies and then taking Chloe for her 3 month check up at Children's. Its always a very stressful day for me, so I wasn't really in the mood for a full length movie, but I didn't want to abandon the project so early in the game either. So I watched this short little movie. It was good. I wasn't in love with it entirely, but I enjoyed it. Its basically brief glimpses of the lives of 5 different artists (all women) living in New York City. I often watch movies just because they have something to do with NY, and this was one that ended up in my queue for Netflix because of it. It was interesting, and I loved looking at the art, but I was hoping for more information about each artist. I guess maybe if it was pared down to just 3 of the women? I don't know what could have made it better for me, but I did lose interest from time to time. The first artist, Swoon, really intrigued me though, and I would love to learn more about her. If you are into art or like to watch an interesting documentary...check this one out, its pretty cool. If you are looking for excitement...this one is probably not for you.
