View this post on Instagram Hi All, It has given me great sadness to tell you that we must postpone The Women’s Film Festival 2020.

Featured in Central New York Woman Online
My Sundance posts caught the eye of someone who was helping a friend do publicity on an event taking place at #Sundance2020, she asked me if I wanted to attend.

DOWNHILL (Sundance 2020 Premiere)
Is Downhill as good as the original? No, of course not. Although, I do remember there being a number of unnecessarily slow, extraneous scenes in “Force Majeure”, so co-directors and writers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash (Academy Award winners for The Descendants which they co-wrote with Alexander Payne) do create a tighter script in “Downhill”; yet the movie is also missing some of the subtleties of things farther under the surface, which foreign films seem to capture so well.

SHIRLEY (Sundance 2020 Premiere)
The lighting & coloring of the film adds an atmosphere of unpredictability. The second lead Rose (Odessa Young) imbues her character with an off kilter sensuality; and of course Elisabeth Moss is just crazy watchable in anything and everything, remember she was the only saving grace of “The Kitchen”. Despite these favorable things, on the whole, I’m not crazy about SHIRLEY, as it takes too long to build to a dissatisfying ending.
