CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Wilder Woods by Wilder Woods in Music

Sep 2, 2019

Atlantic Records recording artist Wilder Woods is back with a new single and music video to promote his upcoming debut LP. Electric Woman features a retro-soul melody combined with a slinky electronic groove, yielding a raw and understated homage to the female form delivered with a signature throwback-flair.

The music video stars Bear Rinehart’s wife, Mary Reames Rinehart, and gives listeners a peek at what real chemistry looks like between the young and beautiful. The canyons at sunset create a wistful backdrop for this exploration of honeymoon love, while Wilder Woods again joins his love of classic style with modern sounds, extending a perfect moment into the ether of collective experience. We are there also, dancing under the stars with our beloved.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Mrs Lowry & Son (2019) in Movies

Sep 10, 2019 (Updated Sep 10, 2019)

It's Grim Up North

Biographical drama about the artist Lowry (he of matchstalk this-and-that fame); based on a stage play and it really does show. Middle-aged clerk Lowry works by day, tends to his clinging, unsympathetic mother in the evenings, and paints at night. Not entirely unlike a variation on Steptoe and Son, only without any jokes.

Well-played, naturally, and well-staged, naturally, but the scenes of the two of them in a small room together, with her crushing his dreams and obsessed with petty social concerns, quickly become repetitive: the brief sequences with Lowry articulating his thoughts on his art, occasionally recreating his paintings, are much more interesting. Watchable but a bit dull; doesn't really do Lowry's art justice.
