What is it about Jersey that causes filmmakers to make films which constantly talk about escaping from or dreading a return to the Garden State? If I didn’t just answer my own question, there’s always “Down The Shore,” an actors' showcase melodrama that captures the small town as a prison where characters are doomed to serve penance for sins of the past. The tourism board really needs to do something about this trend. Jersey icon James Gandolfini is Bailey, an unlikely emcee for the local carnival grounds with his imposing shoulders and jowly grimace. Long expecting a return from Paris by his sister Susan (Maria Dizzia), he is shocked to learn that she has passed, her remains now dust in an urn. Dizzia is only glimpsed in a prologue and flashbacks, but she is a vulnerable, delicate presence. It’s not terribly unexpected that the filmmakers turn her smile into a foreboding omen.
