Slow Burn
Ensemble cast dazzles

This film is holding my streak of wonderful films from this festival. So many twists and turns to the plot left many in the audience convinced they knew what was going on, only to be proven wrong, not once, but twice by this byzantine plot. Jolene Blalok was wonderful as the tricksy ADA and you were forced to ask yourself if she was good, bad, or just out for herself many times. You never knew who was telling the truth, and if they were being told the truth, if they believed it. It was heartbreaking not to get to enjoy a Q & A with this film. As this director's debut effort, he has definitely set himself up as one to watch out for in upcoming festivals and at the box office in general. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this film got an Oscar nod for the performances or the screenplay.
