2016 Slamdance Film Review: NEPTUNE

By: McKenneh-O’Neill Despite the hand held camera work and lens choices which made NEPTUNE difficult to watch at times, the overall story was edgy and interesting. Newcomer Jane Ackermann’s very fresh performance was hit and miss at times but William McDonough is a standout for his very raw and emotional depiction of Herb Quinn. Given the small budget, this was indeed a labor of love … Continue reading 2016 Slamdance Film Review: NEPTUNE

2016 Slamdance Film Review ” MY ENEMIES”

By: Alystar McKenneh-O’Neill I would not have been surprised to find the characters dressed in 1900’s period clothing because it feels like a period piece. A good choice made by Director Stephane Gehami to perhaps bring us closer to the frame of mind of the lead character Isabelle, played by Louise Marleau, who finds her last chance at love with the young poet/novelist Cedric, played … Continue reading 2016 Slamdance Film Review ” MY ENEMIES”

2016 Sundance Film Review: “Sonita”

 By: Alystar McKenneh-O’Neill “Sonita” is the most important documentary of the 21st century.
