PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Set in 1982 in small town Virginia, Permanent<\/em><\/strong> centers around the newly relocated Dickson family, Jeanne and Jim (PATRICIA ARQUETTE, RAINN WILSON) and their 13-year-old daughter Aurelie (KIRA MCLEAN). The movie follows the Dicksons as they struggle through life changes together all the while trying desperately to emerge intact on the other side.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 1.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

This release comes with an embossed and semi-reflective slip cover<\/strong> with portraits of the actors set against a hideous 1980s-era green color reminding me of the shag carpet in my childhood home…<\/p>\n

Deleted\/Alternate Scenes (6:05; HD)<\/u><\/strong> contains scenes that likely were removed for pacing issues or is repetitive.<\/p>\n

Getting Permanent<\/em> with Rainn Wilson (3:12; HD)<\/u><\/strong> is a promotional featurette on Wilson and his character and the story.<\/p>\n

Virginia is for Lovers (1:10; HD)<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 This is a part pros on the state and part joke featurette.<\/p>\n

Theatrical Trailer (2:11; HD)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Not sure why, but Magnolia seems to be the only studio to still include a BD-Live<\/strong> portal.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The 1080p high-definition transfer is mostly good looking, thanks to a semi-authentic representation of the early 1980s, the production and costume designs and the matching colors come through rather well while detail is also sharp and well defined.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is decent enough although given the majority of the film is either filled with dialogue or era-appropriate music\/score, so there\u2019s not very much depth but the rear channels does get modest usage.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, Permanent<\/em><\/strong> is a quirky 1980s-era family-comedy that most works thanks to the three leads, but especially the talented youngster Kira McLean. It\u2019s just a light-hearted and well-written film that both teens and parents can appreciate. This Blu-ray release includes some throwaway features while the video\/audio transfers were above average.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
