    Living for the City: Barry Jenkins's "Medicine for Melancholy"

    by Michael Koresky on January 27, 2009

    The structure of Barry Jenkins's "Medicine for Melancholy" allows for a terrific twist right off the bat. Like many other modestly budgeted American indies, Jenkins's film follows two people getting to know each other, as they wander an expressive cityscape, over the course of one day -- aloofness g...

    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...

    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."

    by Eric Kohn on January 21, 2009

    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
