Three sentence movie reviews: River of Grass

river_of_grass

I felt lucky to be able to watch this early Kelly Reichardt movie and found it very much keeping in the Reichardt style.  It did a good job of overturning all the Bonnie and Clyde cliches.  I also found the Florida setting interesting, as many of her movies are set in Oregon.

Cost: free via work-sponsored Netflix.
Where watched: at home.

  1. Or Bechdel… Woman director and prominent women protagonist – it does seem a possibility. And if it upends Bonnie and Clyde…

  2. Huh, I wouldn’t have guessed the age of this film based on the poster. I thought it was more current. P.S. The lead actor’s main IMDB photo is supremely unflattering.

    1. The poster might be newer. It got a restoration recently. I looked up that lead actor too and blanched at his photo. He seems to work steadily, so perhaps it’s his way of standing out?
