Sometimes a Good Notion

Archive for the tag “Long Branch”

New & Notable: Margo Lily

Directed by: Dane Clark & Linsey Stewart

Clark and Stewart previously directed Long Branch which you can find here and it is certainly worth watching.

Margo Lily drops us right in the middle of a heart wrenching  drama.  A couple dealing with the premature loss of a child and expressing their pain in their own unique way.  This plays out subtly and margo lilywith an incredibly delicate touch.  The couple is performing a ritual of sorts to help cope with their loss.  One of the steps in the ritual is to “say something personal”.  When the film arrives at that moment it leaves us in total silence,  everything that has been said and seen has already been personal enough.  Words would only ruin it.  It’s quite a thing to watch two filmmakers who understand just how powerful and quiet intimacy can truly be.

Somebody PLEASE give Clark and Stewart a feature directing job soon! They need to DISCOVERED ASAP!
