And now to the recaps! I actually woke up SUPER EARLY for this!
I went to go see You Were Never Really Here at the Salle du 60e. Unfortunately, no one told me that the movie was apparently unfinished, and I had another line to get into. So....
I walked about with a half hour left. Oops.
But then I saw Wind River at the Debussey!
AND IT WAS AMAZING! I've loved Taylor Sheridan's writing ever since he penned Sicario. And in his first directorial debut? Stunning. That's all I can say. Add in the amazing lead performances of Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen, and I'm sold. It was good.
See it when it comes out in August.
Finally, in the evening, after a long day of getting changed, doing work, and mildly networking in the Am Pav, all of us (about 20 of us) got together to see the final showing of Patti Cake$, a movie that JCM recommended to us about a white girl growing up in New Jersey who wants to be a rapper.
I thought I was going to cringe through this movie. Instead, I was laughing and cheering by the end of it, along with everyone else in the theatre. Despite it not necessarily being a revolutionary film, it was great, and it's one that everyone can enjoy.
Overall, this is turning into a great way to wind down the festival. Here's to tomorrow!
Movie Count: 29
