    Youth Rebellion: Cary Joji Fukunaga's "Sin Nombre" (Sundance '09)

    by Eric Kohn on January 24, 2009

    At different times, "Sin Nombre" is a harsh coming-of-age tale, a gripping man-on-the-lam thriller, a social drama, a road movie, and a love story. Sometimes, it's all of those things. That's not to say the first feature written and directed by Sundance Lab alumnus Cary Joji Fukunaga suffers from an...

    A Tender Urban Love Story Grows During 9/11: 'Don't Let Me Drown" (Sundance '09)

    by Steve Ramos on January 21, 2009

    Other independent dramas use the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks as emotional background but few with the skillful subtlety as first-time director Cruz Angeles in "Don't Let Me Drown." While primarily a young love story, arguably the most overly familiar of movie genres, "Don't Let Me Drown,...

    An Engaging Portrait of Obsession: Robert Siegel's "Big Fan" (Sundance '09)

    by Eric Kohn on January 21, 2009

    A comic formula wrapped in lonely sentiments, Robert Siegel's "Big Fan" is an engaging portrait of obsession. Siegel, the former editor of "The Onion," wrote "Big Fan" several years ago while attempting to launch his screenwriting career; the darkly humorous story of a New York Giants aficionado cau...

    Chancy, Over-The-Top 'Vicious Kind' is a Mixed Success (Sundance '09)

    by Peter Knegt on January 21, 2009

    Risky material matters more than the skilled technique and earnest performances throughout writer/director Lee Toland Krieger's battling brothers drama "The Vicious Kind." Granted, all the core ingredients of a quality dysfunctional family drama are here: family conflict, violence, sexual impropriet...

    Coming-of-Age Drama "An Education" Is a Triumph for Director and Star (Sundance '09)

    by Indiewire on January 20, 2009

    Much is remarkable about the sweet and wonderful coming-of-age period drama “An Education,” the latest from Danish director Lone Scherfig and the first unqualified breakout at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. For Scherfig, who remains best known for her 2000 foreign-language comedy “Italian for ...

    Move Aside Michael Moore, Charlyne Yi Breaks Out in Comic Doc "Paper Heart’" (Sundance '09)

    by Indiewire on January 19, 2009

    If the great comedian Bob Newhart had an Asian American love child it would be Charlyne Yi. She's the drollest comic working today and her deadpan style makes the comic documentary "Paper Heart," premiering in dramatic competition at the Sundance Film Festival, a fresh, irreverent road comedy.

    The Peculiarities of Soullessness: Sophie Barthes' "Cold Souls" (Sundance '09)

    by Eric Kohn on January 19, 2009

    Sophie Barthes's "Cold Souls" belongs to a genre of self-reflexive movie actors playing themselves — and it's one of the few that has nothing to do with Charlie Kaufman. It doesn't take much effort to explain why Kaufman's name must come up here: Paul Giamatti plays himself in an amusingly surreal s...
