Sundance 2019 - 'Ms. Purple'

2/27/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Gook director Justin Chon returns this year to Sundance with a stunning Korean-American story about two siblings reuniting as their father's health fails. Ms. Purple is moody, complex, and has no easy answers. 

The film focuses on the daughter, Kasie (Tiffany Chu) who works as an escort at karaoke clubs in LA's Koreatown. She struggles to make ends meet as she is taking on the care of her vegetative father at home. She's left in dire straights as the in-home nurse she hired quits.

She reaches out to her estranged older brother, Carey (Teddy Lee). Carey left their home as a teenager but ultimately decides to come help Kasie care for their father. Through series of flashbacks we see how the family fell apart. And we also see the difficult decisions Kasie has had to make in order to provide care for her father. Throughout it all we see redemption, fury, forgiveness, grief, and acceptance beautiful portrayed in a film that will stay with you long after you see it.

Sundance 2019 - 'Untouchable'

2/19/2019

0 Comments

 
Feature Documentary 
Picture
By now, we've heard from many of the high-profile actresses Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted. However, documentarian Ursula Macfarlane chooses to highlight the voices of those who worked with Harvey early on, Harvey's schoolmates, those who knew before his shadow loomed over Hollywood, staff at the then young Miramax company, and actresses who aren't the outrageously famous. We hear from both men and women who were verbally and physically assaulted, bullied, and abused. Untouchable is a riveting documentary and one of our top films from Sundance this year.

'Arctic' will leave you gripping your seat

2/11/2019

Picture
For a debut feature film, Joe Penna's Arctic will keep you riveted start to finish. A frozen version of Castaway, and just as grueling. Mads Mikkelsen's performance as Overgård is worthy of applause. This film proves that you don't need fancy dialogue to tell a compelling story.

Picture
After two decades we finally see the culmination of M. Night Shyamalan's superhero saga in Glass. The film ties together Unbreakable and Split into a mind-bending thriller. 

While Critics and fans are "split" on their opinions on this one, we thoroughly enjoyed the film all the way through. 

Take a listen to hear why you should go see Glass.
