Sarah is going back to school and closing in on a degree, while Michael works on a fishing crew that&#8217;s seen better days. His stresses inform a certain boozy detachment and isolation, which in turn further calcifies Sarah&#8217;s resentments. Things take a turn for the tragic when Michael falls asleep while babysitting one evening, and their son drowns. Sarah, while understandably grief-stricken, is also additionally racked with a complementary sense of guilt since she stayed out for a drink that night with an old college boyfriend, Alan (Ryan Cooper), even though nothing more than a single kiss happened. In this grey aftermath, the couple struggles with how, and whether, to say together.<\/p>\n<p>Bluntly,\u00a0<em>Morning<\/em> is the sort of film that could carve out a certain niche in the commercial marketplace if it had big stars or recognizable faces attached, but as\u00a0rendered stands virtually no chance of doing so.\u00a0There&#8217;s a legitimately melancholic soul to the movie that holds one&#8217;s attention in they&#8217;re feeling more or less sympathetic. And Ramaglia and particularly Cline offer up game performances. But, beat by beat, almost all of\u00a0<em>Morning<\/em>&#8216;s arguments and\u00a0scenes of dramatic intensity\u00a0feel nipped from some well-worn\u00a0screenwriter&#8217;s playbook of\u00a0heightened stakes rather than flowing honestly from the characters. Does a man\u00a0get pissy with his wife\u00a0over a heretofore unmentioned ex-boyfriend at his child&#8217;s wake, or (even if he&#8217;s drunk) rage at a work colleague for &#8220;drinking his whiskey&#8221; at the same event? And when there&#8217;s an accident at work, does a boss appear on the scene, sternly admonish the offending, inattentive party and then, seconds later, escalate things himself,\u00a0yelling, &#8220;I can&#8217;t do this anymore! You&#8217;re fired!&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, I guess. But Mitacek handles these and other dramatic turns &#8212; including the movie&#8217;s big battle-to-save-their-drowned-son sequence &#8212; so artlessly that that contrivance of each bit is highlighted instead of being smoothly stitched under. Rather than try to underplay things and get at the root of Michael and Sarah&#8217;s personal devastations, and how they overlap but are also different, Mitacek instead repeatedly comes up with ways to foist and inject puffed-up drama into the proceedings &#8212; grabs at audience attention that come across as needlessly showy. Loss and terrible pain visits all of us at certain times in our lives, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that all movies that try to merely hold up a mirror to that loss are created equal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical: C+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acting: B-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story: D+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall: C<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by: Brent Simon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/morning_review.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/morning_review.jpg\" alt=\"Morning\" title=\"Morning\" width=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/morning_review.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/morning_review-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Morning Writer-director: Joseph Mitacek Starring: Andrew Ramaglia, Emily Cline, Wally Dalton, Ryan Cooper, Deb Craig An achingly sincere (and achingly familiar), Seattle-set drama of parental bereavement and relationship drift, writer-director Joseph Mitacek&#8217;s Morning, which just screened as part of the recently concluded 14th annual Dances With Films festival, is proof that there&#8217;s quiet, to-scale [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8,1,4],"tags":[17215,16822,17213,38722,17214,1760,17216,17217,17212,17218],"class_list":["post-54687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","category-news-release","category-reviews","tag-andrew-ramaglia","tag-dances-with-films","tag-deb-craig","tag-drama","tag-emily-cline","tag-indie-film","tag-joseph-mitacek","tag-lost-child","tag-morning","tag-st-andrews-films"],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Morning Movie Review &#045;
