directed by Matt Porterfield
USA 2012
When nineteen-year-old Irish
runaway Taryn (Deragh Campbell) turns up on the doorstep of her
American relatives Bill (Ned Oldham) and his singer wife Kim
(Kim Taylor), they welcome her presence even as they are
dissolving their marriage. Also just back from the Hamptons is
their daughter Abby (Hannah Gross), an aspiring actress
resentful of her mother's new relationship with a younger
bandmate as well as Taryn's seeming willingness to take her
place as a more agreeable daughter substitute. When they
discover that Taryn has been in the country for the last year
without her parents' knowledge and is pregnant, her American
relatives prod Taryn to mend her fractured relationship with her
mother even as they grow more distant from one another. |

Comments |
Strand's dual-layer DVD features an attractive high-bitrate encoding of this slick Arri Alexa-lensed film. The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is heavier on atmosphere than directional effects. The disc also features optional English SDH subtitles for the dialogue, song lyrics, and sound effects. Extras include a handful of deleted scenes, including a lengthier prologue which makes some points clearer about the main character (but they are ultimately unnecessary), an additional dialogue scene with Taryn and Abby on a fire escape, a bit featuring Abby on the way to New York, and an extended version of Bill's basement jam. Interesting scenes, but not particularly important. Director Matt Porterfield appears in an interview for the Melbourne Film Festival where he discusses the politics of regional filmmaking. Trailers for the film and other Strand titles current and upcoming Strand releases round out the extras. |
