Hot on the heels of the first poster for Sundance Grand Jury and Audience award-winner, Fruitvale, come a handful of new ones for fellow festival hits.
I was underwhelmed by Breathe In, the latest relationship drama from Drake Doremus (Like Crazy), but there's no denying the performances within are superb. Guy Pearce plays a married former rocker turned music teacher who enters into an affair with a talented young exchange student played by Felicity Jones. Amy Ryan co-stars, but the real breakout may have been Mackenzie Davis, who has lined up a number of big projects since. Check out my review of Breathe In here.
One film I missed that everyone had rave reviews for was Toy's House, which features the strong comedic ensemble of Alison Brie, Nick Offerman, and Megan Mullally. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the story follows three teen boys who head into the wilderness with a plan to build a house and live off the land. It doesn't quite go as planned.
Naomi Watts and Robin Wright are two sexy ladies, regardless of age, and the marketing folks behind Two Mothers really want you to remember that. The rather ridiculous film, made slightly credible by such talented actresses, depicts the relationship between two best friends who begin torrid sexual affairs with the other's son. You can check out the newly released trailer, which features plenty of Wright and Watts lounging around in bikinis, right here.
