A Steady Diet of Film

Sundance! Sundance! Sundance!

NY Times: Nonfiction Has Its Day at Sundance

What was striking was how few of the fictional films seemed to share this impulse, or, if they did, to give it
persuasive form. Even the best of them - like Me and You and Everyone We Know, Miranda July's marvelously idiosyncratic debut, which won yet another special jury prize - took place in self-enclosed worlds, delimited either by the preoccupations of the director or by the narrow perspectives of the characters. If the American documentary competition ranged far and wide in history, geography and politics, its dramatic sibling seemed constricted by comparison, surveying a landscape of small towns, suburbs, unhappy families and, above all, troubled teenagers.

A note to film distributors: Step up your game. Love, The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
