I usually treat that being meant as "good movie." However, my specialty isn't in motion picture marketing -- so maybe I'm wrong! Why do people think "art house" means "no audience"?

After finding and linking your "thorough, informed and passionate" review today, I'm sorry that you felt obliged to pick out the quote "art-house film," suggesting that I (not the "Collaborative" [sic]) summed up "Hour" here in a sideline niche. I saw where and how often the film is playing today in Los Angeles and made a choice; in retrospect, I could have used "independent documentary" and everything else would stay the same. My background, which is in art film cinematography, surely influences my use of the term differently than yours and maybe many others. But I consider it synonymous with the examples provided above: passion-centric, highly-acclaimed, uniquely-marketed and reactively inspiring. This is my own take of the film's web and design influences and this "treatment" is evidently positive and unquestionably inspiring. Next time, please consider going after the real critics, spending more than a couple minutes on this site to rush to a conclusion. Thanks!

From New Jersey, we had to drive in to Manhattan to see it - albeit sporting our new “Drive 55″ bumper sticker - and it seems to be playing in no more than a dozen theaters around the country. I doubt if there were 30 people in the audience, though admittedly this was the late afternoon showing, and no doubt more showed up in the evening. But if this is being treated as an “art-house film” (as suggested by the FWD:Labs Collaborative)  it will never get the audience it needs or deserves. We need to create a movement to get people to see this film, because it’s the next step in awakening people to the need for global action, and beginning to ask more meaningful questions about when, how, and to what extent we need to act in order to survive.
