Our Song |
OUR SONG is a great example of how the debut of a visionary independent filmmaker can have a ripple effect across the industry. It is the first film of Hollywood star Kerry Washington (the FANTASTIC 4 franchise, LAKEVIEW TERRACE).
"Jim McKay's film, which records a summer in the lives of three teenage girls living in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, steers clear of the condescension and sentimentality that color most contemporary cinematic portrayals of female adolescence. Even more remarkable, it avoids the sensationalism and ideological point-scoring that dominate most discussions of race, urban poverty and teenage pregnancy.
Mr. McKay's direction is so natural and unforced, and the performances of his three lead actresses are so smart and understated, that the depth and originality of what they have accomplished emerges only in hindsight. Don't miss this one." - Scott, NY Times |
