ROLEPLAY
Students at a college put together an immersive play based on their various experiences on campus.
Similar to a number three or four recent films (including the incredibly raw THE RAPE PLAY) I've viewed recently ROLEPLAY played very different than it would be for someone coming up on the film and ts subject for the first time. While there is nothing bad with the film, it disn't stand out as anything special because of the other similar films about college kids making theatrical art based upon their lives
BETWEEN GOODBYES
Korean parents track down the daughter they were pressured to give up years before and find her living in The Netherlands. The reverse story to several fiction films that have been released recently, BETWEEN GOODBYES is a stunner. This is a beautiful and heartfelt film about the coming together of families. This is not a simple story, there are a lot of moving parts and angles to it and director Jota Mun keeps it all perfectly balanced. I wish I could have seen this away from the festival crush where I would have had time to sit down and consider it more. Highly recommended.
