American Violet
Crit
Well, OK, look: sometimes, things really are black and white, good and evil, and pathological racism is as good a place to look as any. A committed performance by Nicole Beharie as a single mother wrongly charged with drug trafficking; a very strange performance by Tim Blake Nelson, who, after several roles as a dim rural southerner, seems uncomfortable as a Jewish ACLU lawyer; and a grounding performance by Will Patton, a lawyer who takes Dee's case even though he has to live in the white Texas community.
My first recollection of Patton is as the psychotic bodyguard in No Way Out; he has aged well, with a beautiful small role in Wendy and Lucy as well as this one.
Trailers
These are actually from the sports movie last week; forgot to record them:- Rudo y Cursi--Are you kidding me? The stars of Y tu mamá también in a soccer movie produced by Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Guillermo del Toro? I couldn't be inner.
- Tyson--Documentary by James Toback, looks remarkable.
