THIS is the kind of cinema that's been missing from American theaters.
I saw it tonight at the Museum of Moving image and was completely
engrossed. Writer Alex Ross Perry pulls off the miraculous task of
making two stuck up white girls completely magnetic as you join them on
an complex ride of remorse, self-reflection, and even revenge. You
constantly question the characters in the film; it rubs you like a
Polanski. You question reality, sanity, intentions, who's good and
who's bad. Not much can be said without ruining Catherine's (Elizabeth
Moss) character arc. However, it is a must see and a staple in this
director's career.
I was lucky enough to meet both Moss and Perry after the screening. To
add to the successful film, they were both extremely approachable and
open to conversation. Perry and I discussed tone -- he made a comment
on the importance of releasing tension, specifically, the use of a
cutaway to Katherine Waterston's character after a very powerful
monologue delivered by Moss. He knows cinema and it shows.
