Towelhead

First things first. I'm a HUGE Alan Ball fan. Six Feet Under is my favorite show of all time, and American Beauty is an astounding film. So, I'm maybe a little biased.

Be that as it may, the trailer for Towelhead (formerly called Nothing is Private) has me confused about the maelstrom of hell that this film has gotten from critics who have indicated their desire to bludgeon Alan Ball to death, not to mention the film.

I mean, the trailer looks pretty decent. This doesn't look like totally typical Alan Ball fodder (OK, so the adult male seducing the young girl reeks a little of American Beauty, but still). It seems way more fast-paced and less visually sparse with lighting. I don't know. All I know is that I intend to see it.
