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.

ZOLA (Sundance 2020 Premiere)
Basically, ZOLA is a recounting of how Zola (Taylour Paige) (pretty, 20-something black female) meets Stefani (Riley Keough )(pretty 20-something white female), it seems one exotic dancer can always recognize another, and they strike up a friendship, which goes horribly wrong when Stefani invites Zola on a road trip to Tampa to dance. Strippers can make more money traveling to other cities to work the pole, as they’re considered “new talent” to customers tired of the same ol girls.
