Sundance: YOU CAN COUNT ON ME mini-review
Hey folks, Harry here with the first filing from Sundance this year... YOU CAN COUNT ON ME... and somehow I missed it in my advance look... but I hadn't heard it was produced by Scorsese. Very cool, but I hope we have a more lengthy look at it later on in the fest! Take it away nameless...
Hey Harry..Im a spy down here in Salt Lake City who attended a Sundance film
entitled You Can Count On Me, which is executive produced by Martin Scorsese
and stars Laura Linney and Matthew Broderick. Heres my little thing I wrote
if you would like post it. Thanks!
Just to let everyone know here on the board..Martin Scorsese executive
produced a wonderful film that debuted tonight at the Sundance film festival.
It stars Laura Linney (The Truman Show), and Matthew Broderick (Ferris
Beuhler) and is directed by Kenneth Lonergan who also co-wrote the Robert
DeNiro/Billy Crystal comedy "Analyze This". The story follows Sammy
(Linney), a single mother who is raising her son in a small New England town
when one day, her brother who has been around the country comes home and gets
envolved with their lives after being gone for a long time. The story shifts
from her job at the bank to her romantic envolvement with her boyfriend, and
the bank manager, and also the relantionship between her brother and her son.
The film turned out to be laugh out loud hilarious at times, and also
touching and poignant.
Hopefully this film will find a good distribution company and will be
released. A very good film that deserves recognition.
