Mignonnes (2020)
Excellent Coming of Age Film
Cuties is an excellent coming of age film. Amy is trying to find her place in the world and joins a neighborhood dance group. The girls don't know what they don't know and make significant stumbles along the way. Kind spirited and engaging, I like this film.
Swimmers (2005)
Thoughtful, melodic movie
Swimmers is a lovely, poetic movie about a young girl who needs an operation and the impact of the crisis on her family which does not have health insurance. The script touches on many universal themes: family, friendship, depleted fishing grounds, health care, problem drinking. The performances are wonderful, especially Cherry Jones, Robert Knott, and Tara Devon Gallagher. I saw Swimmers at the Seattle International Film Festival and I strongly recommend it. It just won the Portugese film festival so I am hopeful it will get a distributor as it deserves to be seen by a wide audience. Swimmers is reminiscent of Tender Mercies and Robert Knott's performance reminds me of Robert Duvall's in Tender Mercies--a huge compliment as Tender Mercies is one of my favorite movies. See Swimmers if you get the chance.
