For people that have become bored with the seemingly redundant nature of Hollywood, mumblecore is a perfect antidote. Mumblecore is a growing American independent film movement that centers around interpersonal relationships. These movies focus on mundane and everyday events. They star unprofessional actors and are noticeably low budget. Most of the characters are in the “in between” and transitional parts of their lives. They experience events which at the time seem average but in hindsight are monumental. The filmmakers are not tied to a big production company and are therefore not burdened with the pressure of box office success. They make their films to express the authentic emotions of normal life which are rarely portrayed in mainstream movies. They wish to create a perfect fusion between art and life. I personally have seen only a few mumblecore films find them refreshing. Their strength and power comes from their intimacy and accuracy. They are definitely not for all, especially those who find it hard to sit through slow moving film.

For anyone interested in checking out a mumblecore film i recommend “Cyrus.” It came out pretty recently and is a little bit more mainstream then other mumblecores.
