Crickets (2006)

Option 1Can't Watch?
If the movie poster hasn't loaded, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and you'll be prompted to complete a basic security check like a captcha test.

After completing the above Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now either start playing within your browser or begin downloading to your device.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check. It's usually a captcha test or simply involves checking a box.

This is a workaround method but has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the normal player will not include subs here.

Plot – Spoilers:
A woman lives with and cares for a blind old man. She speaks occasionally to him even though he might be deaf. Generally a neat man, he doesn’t seem to give a shit about how messy he can be sometimes, particularly when he’s doing things he enjoys like eating. Neither does she, and she just buys him new shirts when he’s spilt food all over them. Sometimes she adds amusement to their seemingly boring life by hiding his shoes, but there’s nothing too malicious.

And that’s all there is to it. Recommended for those who aren’t really looking for a point to a movie but rather who enjoy beautifully shot scenes with the only point here perhaps being – here’s a woman who deliberately chooses to live with the kind of man who will always need her. Or maybe there was no man, just like there was no accident – this is a possibility drawn from her wearing the old man’s shirt towards the end, unless that was just about her missing him.

Speaking of Crickets….where are Matisse and An Oldboy. Are they ok? Are they still with us? Are they in Steve’s basement?
