A Ghost Story (2017)
A Ghost Story (2017)
2017 | Drama
A Ghost Story is a bit of a downer in its execution and functionality, but I appreciate the way Lowery wasn’t afraid to try and do something wholly against the grain by giving us a new perspective on the realm of the supernatural.
Critic- Heather Wixson
Original Score: 3.5 out of 5

Chasing Coral (2017)
Chasing Coral (2017)
2017 | Documentary
These documentaries can prove to be overwhelming and quite scary, given how bleak these prescient warnings can sound. The film ends on a more positive,upbeat note, calling on the optimism and strength of the younger generation to guide away from disaster
Critic- Steven Sheehan
Original Score: 8 out of 10

"I remember Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid being one of the first movies I saw as a kid. So I’ll also always equate it with discovering what a movie was. Being a young boy, and here’s my introduction to movies — it still feels like the most gigantic movie in terms of how big and beautiful it was, and the cool factor. Two amazing guys to watch."

"It seems that any filmmaker’s first film idea is something about the mawkish predicament of a ten- or twelve-year-old child quite a bit like themselves—and usually their careers end with this choice (Sundance and other debut-oriented film festivals their final resting place). Truffaut took this dimmest of subjects and made one of the most radiant films of all time, in glorious black and white."

"Then there’s another documentary that I saw last time at Sundance, which is called Position Among the Stars. This is a Dutch-Indonesian director who has made a portrait of one family over the course of 12 years in Indonesia. His name is Leonard Retel Helmrich. I talked to him for a few hours on the last day, before he won the award in Sundance, about what he was doing and how he was doing it, because the way in which he conducts his camera is completely different. He said, “I wanted to make a very simple portrait about a very poor family in Indonesia and see if I could find a link to the bigger picture, so to speak, and the alignment of the stars above their head.” And he succeeded. It’s an awesome documentary. It’s just a portrait of a small family, with a universal theme coming out of it at the end."
