This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie was stupid and wait of time. It was so slow and lame. Nothing went anywhere lol I wish I didn't waste my time. I haven't seen a movie in YEARS that was this worthless

There were two things I was thinking throughout this movie. "Poor Joe" and " Why are Chris and Ted such dicks?". The first story is about Chris, a privileged boy with a loving father who want to spend time with him. When they go hiking, he pushes his little brother onto the rocks for no reason. They get lost, then find their way home.The second story is about Joe, a kind, yet depressed kid. He is unfairly accused of stealing gum at the store. He seems to have no adults in his life that he can trust other than the complete stranger who he goes home with. The man is supposed to be nice, but taking a little kid home with you is a felony. At school, Joe has a one-sided conflict with his "best friend" Ted. Ted seems to verbally and physically bully Joe by pinching him in his private parts. Joe fights back after he is provoked. They say it is just a game, but Joe clearly doesn't like it and Ted doesn't care. Ted continues to do it and gets Joe in trouble twice. For some reason Joe is blamed for this by the school and by Ted's mother. Ted doesn't even care that his "best friend" lost his brother or that his father left.The final story is about Ted. His main conflict is that he and Joe aren't friends anymore and he thinks he is the victim. He can't understand how physically bullying someone, getting him in trouble twice, blaming him, calling him a very hurtful nickname, and not being there when he is depressed might end a friendship. I know these are ten year old boys and being mean is their way of communicating, but how are we supposed to believe that these boys are friends. Ted starts hanging out with Chris as his rebound friend, who is a jerk to Joe for some reason. He wasn't even part of the conflict. The three "friends" are brought together when they decide to hunt a mountain lion. They fight over the gun and Joe gets shot. Only then does Ted actually seem to care about Joe. At the end of the movie they become friends again, though it is unclear why. Ted never apologizes to Joe, even for nearly killing him.The moral of this story, some friendships can be very harmful. PLEASE COMMENT BELOW. I WANT FEEDBACK. I don't think I fully interpreted this movie correctly. If I did, it deserves a much lower rating. What do you think?

This film tells the story of three children who goes to the same class in school in a suburban part of Palo Alto, where lions roam and threaten the safety of people."Yosemite" has good camera with, good lighting and good visual presentation of scenes. The technical aspects are great, but there's no content. All we see in the first segment is three people walking around in a beautiful national park. The second segment shows an unlikely friendship between a boy and an adult male, but that's pretty uneventful to the point of boredom. The third story is slightly more happening, but it is still rather dull and boring. Maybe the film is of personal significance to the director and producers, and this personal meaning doesn't translate across to the viewers.

Sometimes Yosemite felt like the equivalent of watching paint dry.It's suppose to create some type of emotion in me, but I did not catch it. despite understanding the story of the tree boys that dominate the movie. But there came a point for me were I just was not emotionally invested enough in what I saw on the screen. I wanted to like it too, but it falls very short of the goal it tries to accomplish. A little too dead pan.It's impressive that putting James Franco on the poster was enough to get this thing released in the tiny theater I saw it in, but it's not entertaining enough as a movie for nothing too happen. it's too real and true to the source material that did not transfer over too well.Maybe works better as the book it was based on. I like Franco's other novel turned movie Palo Alto better
