Beautifully filmed in tones of black and white, "Northfork" compares to your typical movie as poetry compares to your typical novel. This is a simple, quiet, symbolic, desolate yet meaningful film.

Northfork (2003) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for ReelViews (James Berardinelli)ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Northfork is moody and atmospheric - a study in tone over plot and pacing over characterization.

And so I worry about Mark and Michael. "Twin Falls Idaho" was one of my favorite films of 1999 (a very good year for film, you'll recall), but "Jackpot" and now "Northfork" make me fear their debut was a fluke.

Aiming for Almodóvar lite, the flick is more reminiscent of "The Love Boat" -- drenched this time in cheery polysexuality.

If you're looking for an impeccably made film, one shouldn't look further than "Northfork."
