Prince Avalanche was a great movie. I really enjoyed how fresh and interesting it was. Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch have excellent chemistry and they both pull it off. I was wonderfully surprised by this movie.

There's not much to this movie, no thick plot, not too many people, not a lot of suspense or mystery or Academy Award winning actors, and yet it will always remain in your head once you've watched it.

Rudd and Hirsch share a unique camaraderie as road workers working in the beautiful Texan woods that set the perfect melancholic backdrop. This movie shows that you don't need a lot to make a charming film. You'll enjoy it if you have a heart.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a film which is both amusing and sobering/sad at times. I liked the main characters and how they interacted. Their painted as very human people, with their talents and issues and the like. I found scenes in which they look around the site of homes destroyed by fire to be quite touching at times. Its an interesting film - I suppose partly about loneliness and the sense of isolation in one way. The camera oftens zooms in on fairly small things, elements of nature present in the area. There's a bit of a philosophical feel to it, although on another level, some of the conversations between the two workers were pretty basic I suppose but the general direction and tone of the film deepens as the film continues.

I preferred Paul Rudd's character (Alvin) over Emile Hirsch's (Lance) I suppose, although I liked some of Lances dialogue but I suppose I saw Alvin as the more thoughtful one. However, one line I remember that I did like from Lance was - 'can't we just listen to the silence?!', so I suppose their both mindful/philosophical in their own ways. I also liked that the film seemed to have tinges of both red and orange in scenes a lot - fire related colours, of course (which is relevant, given the setting of the film).

Personally I'd recommend this film but if your not keen on slow(ish) paced, character driven films then this won't be for you.… Expand
