Overall "Bluebird" is a terrific film that can be trying at times. Edmand never gives any hope that these families will get through the dark times and never allows his characters to live with any glimmer of hope. However, the film's tonal congruity and top-notch performances will surely resonate.
Ultimately, Wasilewski confronts each character in a raw matter but he does it so effectively that he transports the viewer to the characters' world. The film is one of the most moving, poignant and magnetic films at the Tribeca Film Festival thus far.
"Tricked" is filled with crazed moments that make this film border on farce, but its shocking plot twists make this one of the most engaging and entertaining escapes from the overall dark and somber tone of the festival.
The film is certainly an entertaining and nuanced piece about loneliness and love. Unfortunately, the narrative exceeds its own limits when it tries to impose a repetitive romance on the viewer. The futile attempts to pull on his/her heartstrings by the time it comes to its bitter-sweet close instead turn into relief that the film has finally come to an end.
The Tribeca Film festival will open on April 17 with over 100 films in the festival and many stars ready to line up on the red carpet. But with so many films, it is hard to pick which movies to watch. The following list is a selection of 10 films that Latinos Post writers recommend based on what has already been screened and what is most anticipated at the festival.
Torture and bullying have been the subject of controversy throughout the past year. First Harvey Weinstein released a divisive documentary "Bully," which made sensors and the MPAA try and limit the audience and the exposure of the film by giving it an R rating. Then Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" was the subject of an investigation after it showed water boarding of prisoners. With Emir Baigazin's first feature "Harmony Lessons," the idea of bullying and torture is taken to a completely new level in this dramatically wrenching film debut.
Lenny Abrahamson's "What Richard Did" not only portrays said "rolling in the muck," but it immerses the viewer in the heartbreaking process of seeking atonement despite being unable to act. The end result is a powerful, breathtaking film that will leave the viewer emotionally drained, but transformed.
The trailer to Richard Linklater's "Before Midnight" has been released.
