It’s 1958 Florida and a young girl named Nora (Freya Tingley) is in an unfortunate situation. Her momma is dead, daddy has raped her ever since, and she has been financially trapped. But then this colored boy Monty (Tom Williamson), selling vacuum cleaners, takes an interest in Nora. To the point that, even with her daddy pointing a shotgun at him,...
Freya Tingley
I’m going to do my best to keep the spoilers to a nil. But, let me just say, with Tingley’s southern sweet, Marilyn Monroe esque performance, she leads you down the path to thinking this is a love story. Like she is a damsel in distress and Monty her knight in shining armor. But then, after a series of lies get uncovered, you begin to wonder how innocent is she really?
The Dialog and Performances
To me, the acting in the film is low-key cringey. Something I want to attribute to the fact there is no strong performer here to give either of our leads, Williamson or Tingley, that extra oomph. For, just speaking on what I know of Williamson from The Fosters, I know the dude can act. The issue here is that Tingley, while decent on her own, isn’t that rock someone can lean on. She, at this point in her career, doesn’t have that skill yet to make herself look good, alongside her co-star. Some...
Addressing the Issues of Interracial Romance in the 1950s South
In the grand scheme of things, Nora and Monty was purely to setup the twists. Hence why, while there is some touching on the idea of a white gal being a negro lover, it isn’t dived into. Like, we don’t see culture clashes or anything like that. For, as said, the relationship is purely made to set us up.
Nora and Monty’s Romance
Knowing what ultimately was Nora and Monty’s agenda makes me kind of wish the romance between them was stronger. If only because that was the period before the rug is pulled from under us. However, in retrospect, while surprised by the twist in the movie, I feel like the rug wasn’t pulled from under us but simply tugged. Which mostly is due to the writing and performances but also a bit because, you never really get sold on either one’s façade. There is an attempt through googly eyes, kissing...
The issue with No Way To Live, for me, is the actors weren’t ready for what the story called for and the script doesn’t live up to the plot twists. For while you do see effort out of our leads, there are times when you can tell they are out of their depth. Then with the script, it seems like the twists are tent pole moments. The kind where, as you ...
