Cinequest 2009
“How To Be”, directed by Oliver Irving, is one of those films you can enjoy if you catch it, and not miss if you miss it. It comes under radar, not carrying a big punch.
Art hasn’t made much of his life to date and has allowed his parents disappointment to be his guiding light. He seeks help in self-help books and engages the author of one notable boot-strap tome and brings him home to help with him and his family. Art is okay as the loveable loser, but the film doesn’t move for me. That’s okay. The show might resonate with you.
