Mumford is packed with quality actors and a quirky interesting storyline. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough time to do an effective character study of the major characters. Since the movie spends all its time shallowly studying characters, the plot never develops enough to carry the movie. All in all, the movie was interesting and pleasant, it just didn't live up to its potential.

The Green Mile
(1999)
The best ensemble acting in a beautiful masterpiece
16 December 1999
The Green Mile contains the best ensemble of actors. In any film with Hanks it would be easy to lose the other actors in such a huge shadow, but everyone shines with equal brilliance. All the characters are believable. The script is absolutely amazing and spreads the mezmerizing dialogue around very democratically. Also, that mouse deserves some kudos for performing so well. The Green Mile is the best movie I have seen this year, and while sitting for three hours seems to be an awfully large commitment on behalf of the viewer, not a minute of it is ill-spent.
Thieves
(1996)
Beautiful imagery tells an odd tale of unique characters
16 December 1999
Perhaps the subtitles failed to do justice to the movie, but the visual construction of Les Voleurs crosses all boundaries. The complexities of the plot can be confusing; however, the visual imagery used in the film helps reinforce the characteristics of each relationship the film studies. All in all, a brilliant film to watch if you feel up to reading the subtitles.
