Rapture [Twilight Time] Reviews

Attempting to combine a coming-of-age story within the confines of an art film, John Guillermin’s Rapture is a noble experiment but an ultimate failure. With a handful of unappealing characters making a continuous string of ludicrous decisions, Rapture tries one’s patience continually, the lugubrious story and halting direction preventing it from attaining the affecting pathos it so desperately seeks. It’s beautifully filmed, and there is some sensitive acting on display, but it all amounts to a very bleak little.
