Saint Judy (2018)
An affirmation of justice in an unjust world
The film presents the story of Judy Wood's pivotal breakthrough in changing the interpretation of political asylum in the USA. Since we know she won, the main interest comes from watching the filmmaker's exploration of her emotional struggles. The results are uplifting. You come out of this film feeling like the "little guy or gal" can still win. It only takes clarity and persistence. The film is well crafted, well-acted, and but dialogue is a bit cringy. It's hard to see how this movie differentiates itself from a TV MOW or biopic.
Above the Clouds (2018)
Above the Clouds headed over the rainbow
Saw the premiere of this film at Raindance Film Festival. Wonderful. Here's what I wrote then about it on Raindance Festival Day 5:
Went raving mad about this sparkly, distinctly British "American road trip" movie. Fell in love with ingénue actress Naomi Morris. Gushed about this cinema treat being destined for wide release on the film's FB page. I promise: I had not been drinking. This movie is an elixir. Prepare to become intoxicated.
