Tribeca 2015: SUNRISE Review

Partho Sen-Gupta’s sophomore feature, Sunrise, takes place in the labyrinthine back-alley slums of Mumbai, where a distraught police detective desperately searches to find a shadowy figure who is abducting young girls, one of whom is his daughter. The giallo-infused visuals and electronic score lend themselves to the nightmarish tone of this dark thriller that is just about as far from Bollywood as you can get.

Tribeca 2015: TENURED Review

Adapted from his short film Teacher of the Year from 2012, Chris Modoono’s Tenured is an uproariously funny story about a tenured 5th-grade teacher on the verge of a complete emotional breakdown after his wife leaves him and his cushy do-nothing job becomes threatened. Through a smart and consistently funny script, Modoono crafts a film that manages to be hilarious and, dare I say, touching without losing its sense of humor.

Tribeca 2015: VIRGIN MOUNTAIN Review

Dagur Kári’s latest film, Virgin Mountain, presents a light, bittersweet character study about a 43-year-old man and his first foray into love, a frightening endeavor that will ultimately change him forever. This Icelandic drama is sad, funny, at times incredibly awkward, and a highly recommended watch.

A WOLF AT THE DOOR Review

Fernando Coimbra’s Brazilian thriller A Wolf at the Door begins as a kidnap story, with a couple reporting that their child was abducted from school.  From here the viewer is led to believe the film will then progress as a simple whodunit, with police tracking the kidnapper and attempting to rescue the child.  Coimbra boldly tosses this procedural structure aside however, and reveals the kidnapper within the first act.  Surprisingly, even after knowing who took the child, the film still manages to keep the viewer on their feet as they discover the reasoning behind the abduction.
