Film Review: “Test Pattern” Offers a Nuanced Examination of a Sexual Assault’s Aftermath
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
February 18, 2021
Test Pattern (Shatara Michelle Ford, 2019) 4 out of 4 stars. Two women, close friends Renesha and Amber, meet in a bar for drinks, just to catch up and blow off steam. Soon they are approached by two men very much on the make, who ply them with drinks and weed gummies. Amber is into it; Renesha not, as she not only has work in the morning, but a boyfriend waiting for her at home. As the night goes on, the pot and alcohol cloud her thinking, and ... >>

By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
February 18, 2021
A few weeks ago, as the film Savage State (which I reviewed) came out, I had the opportunity to send its director, David Perrault, some written questions, to which he soon thereafter responded. His movie is a metaphysical western that follows a French family trying to extricate itself from the 1860s American Civil War.

Sundance Review: “Land,” Despite Occasional Missteps, Offers Profound Healing
By Christopher Llewellyn Reed
February 11, 2021
Land (Robin Wright, 2021) 3 out of 4 stars. An alternately melancholy and vibrant exploration of grief and its gradual transformation into something else, actress Robin Wright’s directorial debut, Land, delivers a moving, if maudlin, tale with a powerful life-affirming lesson at its center. Starring Wright (House of Cards), herself, in the lead role of Edee, a woman who has just lost her husband and child, the movie brings us on a voyage of ... >>
Sundance Interview with Dan Deacon, Composer for “All Light, Everywhere,” “Philly D.A.” and “Strawberry Mansion”
By Hannah Tran
February 10, 2021
Acclaimed composer and electronic musician Dan Deacon continued his impressive streak as a film composer at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where he was responsible for creating the scores for three feature films: Strawberry Mansion, Philly D.A. and All Light, Everywhere. The lattermost of these was one of my favorite films of the festival. Made by Rat Film director Theo Anthony, that documentary focuses on the intersection between vision ... >>
