By Peter Howell Movie Critic Wed., Nov. 28, 2018 The 2019 Sundance Film Festival will take moviegoers from the Earth to the moon and to the deepest part of space where no one can hear you scream. Robert Redford’s annual independent film showcase in Park City, Utah, running Jan. 24 to Feb. 3, could be called a “Triple A” event for three of its most anticipated offerings: the Canadian-made environmental exposé Anthropocene, a 50th-anniversary revisiting of the Apollo 11 lunar achievement and a making-of documentary on the horror classic Alien. They’re among the 112 features announced this week for Sundance, which has gathered films from 33 countries representing what is quite likely the fest’s most diverse slate ever: 40 per cent of the films were directed by women; 36 per cent by filmmakers of colour and 11 per cent by people who identify as LGBTQIA. “Society relies on storytellers,” Redford said in a news … [Read more...] about The Sundance Film Festival’s anticipated premieres include the Canadian documentary Anthropocene and a making-of doc about Alien
Review: MADELINE’S MADELINE, Josephine Decker’s Stunning Drama
The notion of authenticity can often get haphazardly tossed around when talking about cinema. Indeed, one's declaration of authenticity can tread a fine line with hyperbole. What are we really saying when we shout "this film is so authentic!" Authentic to what exactly?Madeline's Madeline could have been made by no one else but Josephine Decker (Thou Wast Mild and Lovely, Butter on the Latch), and starred no one else but Helena Howard. This film would simply never exist as it is if it wasn't for their spirits. Madeline's Madeline is what we mean when we talk about authentic cinema; pure cinema, brimming over with euphoria and empathy and a direct perspective of a human, both inside and out, mental and physical, that feels so complete as to be dizzying. Madeline's Madeline is not VR, and nor should it be, but the film's ability to get you to inhabit another being is exhilarating and beguiling and life affirming all the same. And so this tumultuous dance between daughter and mother and … [Read more...] about Review: MADELINE’S MADELINE, Josephine Decker’s Stunning Drama
Reviewed in brief: ‘Chloe & Theo,’ ‘A Walk in the Woods,’ ‘Learning to Drive’
CHLOE & THEO As the summer release season scrapes the bottom of the barrel, you may still have room on your commemorative shelf of the year’s lamest oddities. It is about as exciting as watching a gerbil on an exercise wheel. Dakota Johnson, the only admirable element in “50 Shades of Grey,” does what she can to elevate this threadbare indie, with worse results. She plays Chloe, a homeless New Yorker who welcomes Inuit newcomer Theo (Theo Ikummaq). The street urchin digs his pacifist attitude, volunteering to slip him past United Nations security to offer the warning about global warming that his elders have sent him to deliver. Mira Sorvino plays a socialite with a dramatic secret who joins their quest, André De Shields appears as a ghetto know-it-all who tries to navigate the crusade. By the end of the film, Theo hopes to go home to the igloo and you wish him luck. Borrowing themes from “Candide,” it makes us wonder why bad things happen to good … [Read more...] about Reviewed in brief: ‘Chloe & Theo,’ ‘A Walk in the Woods,’ ‘Learning to Drive’
