USA 1997, 35mm, Color, 101 min. World Premiere
At 42, Carol Bradley's (Reedy Gibbs) life is comfortably balanced between her husband Guy (J.K. Simmons), their 17-year-old daughter, Denise (Meadow Sisto), and her involvement in her church and community. But today she is concerned. Her best friend Jessica (Gwynyth Walsh) is suddenly having reckless, unapologetic affairs with all the married men in town, creating a scandal. When 19-year old James (William James Jones), a handsome African American looking "for work, and to learn about white people," comes to stay with the Bradley's, the melting pot boils over. Carol's sense of security, her world view and morals, are being challenged on all fronts. James Rosenow's moving first feature charts Carol's dilemma with tolerance and grace, even as it questions those very concepts. |
