Profile of Bubble

Bubble can be described as suspenseful, bleak, and gloomy. The plot revolves around a humdrum life, a workplace romance, and an investigation. The main genres are drama and mystery. In approach, Bubble is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, in a factory and in a small town. It is located in Ohio. Bubble takes place in contemporary times.

Summary of Bubble

With BUBBLE, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh proves that one doesn't need a huge Hollywood budget and larger-than-life actors to craft an affecting motion picture. Following his star-studded spectacle OCEAN'S TWELVE, Soderbergh returns to the small-scale roots of his breakout hit SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE and his no-budget romp, SCHIZOPOLIS. The result is a genre-bending exercise that is a truly original cinematic experience. Set in and around a doll factory on the Ohio/West Virginia border, the film tells the story of Martha (Debbie Doebereiner) and Kyle (Dustin James Ashley), coworkers who have formed an unlikely friendship. But when the pretty Rose (Misty Dawn Wilkins) arrives, hidden layers of emotion begin to surface, culminating in an unspeakable tragedy.

Like a gifted documentarian, Soderbergh uses his nonprofessional cast to present a slice of everyday American life that is unflinchingly, achingly honest. Combined with Coleman Hough's more traditionally crafted plot, BUBBLE becomes something wholly inventive. Shot on digital video by Soderbergh, and featuring a score from former Guided by Voices frontman Robert Pollard, BUBBLE resonates long after the credits have rolled. At only 72 minutes, the film nonetheless casts a strangely haunting spell. This is the first of several low-budget digital video projects that Soderbergh plans to shoot all across America.

It's reassuring to see Steven Soderbergh return to riveting down-and-dirty filmmaking with Bubble. Full Review

Washington Post

Soderbergh and screenwriter Coleman Hough aren't interested in creating a coy whodunit so much as evoking the deeper, less romantic mysteries of people -- and it's riveting. Full Review

***Partial Spoilers*** This movie was slow, lacked depth, was short, and to top it off, the person who you're led to believe did it, actually did. The "cinematography" was decent, as was the lighting. I think that the use of no-name actors lends... Read and rate it

The only aspect of this movie I liked was the cinematic return to the straight storytelling style in which the film is not one long hipster story set to a music video. The silence through much of the film adds tension and interest that in modern... Read and rate it
