The Yellow Handkerchief

“The Yellow Handkerchief” is a movie starring William Hurt, Maria Bello, Kristen Stewart and Eddie Redmayne. Written by Erin Digman and directed by Udayan Prasad, this is a movie of 102 minutes duration that, unfortunately, seems like it is much longer.
Although beautifully acted and photographed, the film moves along at too slow a pace.
It is unique to fall asleep in a movie that deserved my undivided attention but unfortunately, I did. Perhaps better direction and a script with less unanswered questions might have prevented it. More like a short story than the material for a full length feature, I still must say that the entire experience was positive in spite of the abovementioned shortcomings. I give the film 2 and ½ stars because, when all is said and done, it is a good picture. Nevertheless having a strong cup of coffee as you enter the theater is definitely recommended.
