An unhappily married woman runs away from home and goes to Atlantic City, where she meets a young gambler and develops an unlikely friendship with him.

The Atlantic City Story

I&apos;ve been to Atlantic City way back in the day - during the transition years before casino&apos;s to after casino&apos;s - and it astonished me how much of AC - per this 2020 film - is still redolent of &quot;old&quot; AC.

The storyline of this is rather thin - but, omg, the filming and editing - gorgeous and beautifully paced.

The acting is nice - Jessica Hecht is a accomplished actress and she plays her role beautifully altho, the director has forced some plot twists that are rather &quot;out of character&quot; in a disappointing way - but that&apos;s not Jessica&apos;s fault.

The other main character - Michael Faist - does his best with a role that is very enigmatically driven - again, presumably by the &quot;auteur&quot; director - but that&apos;s, again, that&apos;s not Faist&apos;s fault.

But, again, the film is worth the watch for the cinematography - it is a wonderful capture of AC pictorially; and the editing is gorgeous, resulting in a elegant finished production.

I've been to Atlantic City way back in the day - during the transition years before casino's to after casino's - and it astonished me how much of AC - per this 2020 film - is still redolent of "old" AC.

The storyline of this is rather thin - but, omg, the filming and editing - gorgeous and beautifully paced.

The acting is nice - Jessica Hecht is a accomplished actress and she plays her role beautifully altho, the director has forced some plot twists that are rather "out of character" in a disappointing way - but that's not Jessica's fault.

The other main character - Michael Faist - does his best with a role that is very enigmatically driven - again, presumably by the "auteur" director - but that's, again, that's not Faist's fault.

But, again, the film is worth the watch for the cinematography - it is a wonderful capture of AC pictorially; and the editing is gorgeous, resulting in a elegant finished production.
