The Sweet East
Nick Pinkerton in Person on Friday!
USA, 2023, Sean Price Williams
A field trip to Washington, DC, turns trippy for a high schooler (Talia Ryder) who gets separated from her classmates and embarks on a wild odyssey through America’s crazy-quilt East Coast—seen here as a patchwork of kooks, cretins, and conspiracy theorists. The first movie directed by celebrated indie cinematographer Sean Price Williams (known for his gritty work with Alex Ross Perry and the Safdie brothers) and written by film critic Nick Pinkerton is a funny, outrageous amalgam of Alice in Wonderland and Celine and Julie Go Boating. Simon Rex co-stars. Nick Pinkerton will answer audience questions after Friday’s screening. “A thoroughly pungent, scabrously funny kind of nightmare picaresque.” –RogerEbert.com. Cleveland premiere. DCP. 104 min. www.utopiadistribution.com (Source: ohio.org)
