The Price of Milk Reviews
A Fairy Tale Romance with a Twist
Once i began to think of it as a "real-life fairy tale" i was able to really enjoy it.... think of it as symbolic and not realistic. So artistic, creative and sweet, it will be one of my favorites for a long time.
Strange things happen
The Price of Milk is a movie that can only be viewed on its own terms. Strange things happen, sometimes revolving around a curse (moral: drive carefully), sometimes just because. There's a quilt, there are cows, and there's New Zealand mysticism (or something). Realism isn't the point.
There's a coherent plot in there somewhere, but the movie is as much a collection of unexpected events as it is a coherent narrative. This is at first charming and cute; an early scene with Rob and Lucinda sharing a bath is particularly nice.
The amusement level is high at first, but after a while the movie just gets tiring. After an endless parade of nonsense, I eventually started to wish that they would just get on with it and stop throwing in so many additional complications. It is, fortunately, not very long.
There's not a lot to lose by renting the movie (I found it in the Drama section, amazingly enough), but why would anyone want to own this? It's hard to justify repeated viewings when the whole point is that you're never quite sure what they're going to throw at you next.
