Perhaps the cleverest thing about Barker-Froyland's delicately contrived debut is how uncontrived she manages to make it seem.
Full reviewRomantic drama with Anne Hathaway as a young archaeologist who, after learning her estranged brother is in a coma, returns home to Brooklyn. As she discovers more about her brother's life, she comes across his favourite musician (Johnny Flynn) and inadvertently starts a relationship with him.
"Desperately seeking clues to his recovery, she dips her toe into the Brooklyn music scene he inhabited, attending a concert by his singer/songwriter hero, James Forester. When James unexpectedly visits Henry’s hospital room, a spark kindles between Franny and this reticent stranger. In the vibrant coffeehouses and clubs they frequent, love and grief intermingle. Franny discovers a new appreciation for her family and the possibility of truly connecting with people, rather than living life solely as an observer." (Sundance Film Festival)

Full reviewA mournful number, held back by an uncertain performance by Flynn and an alienating reverence for the restorative power of middling indie-folk.
