Opening weekend of the film festival. Best three films seen. And I've only seen 4. That makes me 3 for 4. The 'opening night' film 'Precious: Based on the novel Push by Sapphire' was awful. Don't waste your money. Lee Daniels has no discernible directing style.
But these on other hand are awesome.
1. October Country - Every family has its ghosts. Set in the Mohawk Valley of Central New York, this film chronicles a year of life seen through the eyes of the Mosher family. Relationships gone sour, poor economy, a troubled foster kid, young mothers, and a belief in the paranormal make this film a beautiful portrait of a family.
2. Con Artist - Mark Kostabi is a fraud and a scam artist. He knows it. And he's spent years perpetuating his 'art' and will do just about anything to keep himself in the spotlight.
3. Leaves of Grass - Tim Blake Nelson directed narrative about twin brothers and weed in Oklahoma. That's all I need to say.
