For discerning moviegoers, the affably disorienting "Hermia & Helena" might just be the right kind of midsummer night's dreaminess.

Hermia & Helena presents a unique anomaly -- it's able to capture life at its most low-key but still manages to exemplify style over substance.

Rated: 2/4

Part of the charm of Hermia & Helena is in the way it freely and randomly plays with form, employing luxuriantly slow dissolves, unexpected snatches of superimposed text, and even a black-and-white film-within-the-film.

Rated: B

This is the definition of what I think of as an “open” film...the pleasure is in the freedom to think, speculate and be continuously surprised.

It seems with Hermia & Helena, Piñeiro is upping the ante a little bit and put more cinematic playfulness in his small ways. And it's lovely.

One Room With A View

It's a bloated plot where not much happens, and the only development of consequence comes near the film's end, apropos of nothing.

Rated: 2/5
