Saving Grace

Where he cultivates marijuana plants.

As Grace's world crumbles Matthew's plants die, and so it comes to pass that these two come together to help the other: Grace suggests Matthew move his pot plants from the shade into her greenhouse.

Which he does, and before long things take a turn as movies and films such as this one tend to do: Grace and Matthew raise dope in massive, wholesale numbers to make enough to pay the bills.

With more than a few coin left over.

"Saving Grace" is the sort of film that would fail were it released any other time of the year, owing much to the fact there is no proper way to present it. And given the subject at hand, well, the less said by way of the Hollywood PR machine the better. This is one of those films that succeeds not because of hype but because of sly word of mouth.

"Saving Grace" is set in a village that has become a staple in so many films and movies in recent years: A village where everyone knows everyone; where everyone is eccentric, but no matter as this is the norm; where sins transpire but no matter (again) because without them insanity is just a thought away; a place that really does exist but makes you wonder: Do you really want to know such a place?

"Saving Grace" is a simple, naive film. Because it is it will succeed. Because it will it will become a cult favorite, just like "Waking Ned Devine".

And that, given the fare forthcoming from Hollywood, is not a bad thing.
