Into the Forest

This is one of those rare post-apocalyptic movies where you never get to see the apocalypse, just humans in the aftermath. Wood and Page were both excellent - the movie wouldn't have worked without both of them firing on all cylinders. Lovely direction, haunting story. I enjoyed this. 4/5

Born to Be Blue

Wow, I really loved this film. It was written and directed by Robert Budreau, whose work I've never seen before. I truly hope he gets much more work in the future, as this was really inventive and imaginative. I really loved the non-linear moments, and the direction had such lovely texture and a great palette. I have to give it up to Ethan Hawke, who pulled out all the stops for this role. The last twenty minutes of this film is perhaps the best twenty minutes of film Hawke has ever produced, and it's a marvel to watch. Especially in contrast to the similarly themed "Miles Away", this is a truly great film. 4.5/5

Last Night

This amorphic indie end of the world drama was engaging & interesting but not quite believable. Good concept. 3.5/5
