Palo Alto **
Stories of lust
and boredom that take place in a Palo Alto high school.
Encompassing, nomadic drama of
Californian High School life that is not altogether unfamiliar given the last
name of the director. Ironically, it falters not from being too nebulous, but
from being too conspicuous.

Draft Day
At the NFL
Draft, a General Manager has the opportunity to rebuild his team when he trades
for the number one pick.
Hopelessly false and stagey endeavor on
the kind of sports movie that doesn’t exist anymore. It beckons a director who
has become despairingly out-of-touch.

Coherence ***
On the night of
an astrological anomaly, eight friends at a dinner party experience a troubling
chain of reality bending events.
Impeccably managed low-budget puzzle
with pulsing direction and performances. It plays like a Bunuelian episode of The Twilight Zone. In the end, it is a film about never being
able to escape form the decisions we've made in life.

The One I Love *
In a last ditch
attempt to save their marriage, a couple go on a country retreat where they
encounter clones of themselves.
An attempt to spice-up the
"romantic two-hander" that, despite committed performances, fails due
to a script carrying neither wit nor insight.
