2016 Hollywood Movies Rating And Review:

'The River Thief': Film Review

Courtesy of Andy Patch
Won't steal your heart.

A teenage drifter finds his larcenous tendencies quelled by a new friendship with a young woman and her grandfather in N.D. Wilson's directorial debut.
Making the leap from author to filmmaker is a tricky proposition. No less a literary personage than Norman Mailer demonstrated the pitfalls with such cinematic disasters as Maidstone and Tough Guys Don't Dance. Making his feature debut, YA author N.D. Wilson similarly flounders with The River Thief, a hoary melodrama revealing the filmmaker's inexperience.

Set along the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest, the story concerns Diz (Joel Courtney), a disaffected teen who gleefully steals from whoever he can while wandering throughout the region. Whether casually purloining items from a pawn shop or skipping out on a meal at a small-town diner, Diz displays absolutely no compunction about his larcenous behavior. After committing the latter offense, he becomes acquainted with the disgruntled waitress, Selah (Raleigh Cain), and her doting grandfather Marty (Tommy Cash, younger brother of Johnny, making his first big-screen appearance).

Refusing Marty's generosity, Diz tells him, "I don't do gifts." But because of his attraction to Selah, he takes the elderly man up on his offer to join him and his granddaughter at their home for dinner.

Diz also finds himself in possession of a cool $1 million belonging to the town's crooked sheriff (Paul Johannson) and his drug-dealing cohort (Bas Rutten, using his MMA experience to glower convincingly). When the newly flush Diz showers Selah with gifts in an effort to woo her, it attracts the attention of the criminals who will stop at nothing to get their loot back.

The film's storyline is infused with religious overtones, with Marty offering Diz lessons about the redemptive aspects of gratitude and frequently breaking out into renditions of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" in a fragile, gravelly voice. Writer/director Wilson unsuccessfully combines the various thematic elements, including the thriller and teen romance storylines, with the result that the film suffers from wild tonal inconsistencies. The climactic plot revelation is far more groan-inducing than effective.

Thanks to the widescreen lensing effectively capturing the beauty of the scenic Snake River environs, the film looks terrific, with Courtney delivering a charismatic turn as the teenage drifter. But it's not enough for The River Thief to come anywhere close to capturing your imagination.

Black Crow’ (‘Siyah Karga’): Film Review | Antalya Film Festival 2016

Courtesy of Antalya Film Festival
A harrowing voyage that’s heavy on atmosphere and light on story.  TWITTER

Turkish writer-director M. Tayfur Aydin explores the perils faced by an Iranian expat trying to return home in this competition entry from the Antalya Film Festival.
There have been lots of recent films chronicling the arduous journey that people make from the Middle East to Western Europe, but few have followed that trajectory in the opposite direction. That’s probably one of the principal merits of Black Crow (Siyah Karga), a minimalist road movie about an Iranian expat trying to illegally return to her homeland across the mountainous terrains of southeastern Turkey.

Written and directed M. Tayfur Aydin (The Trace), this bare-bones adventure offers up breathtaking locations that give the viewer a “you are there” kind of experience, and one that is fitfully captured by DP Emre Konuk’s sweeping cinematography. But the lack of absorbing characters and storylines, as well as the withholding of a major plot point until the 11th hour, will make this voyage – which premiered in Istanbul and is now playing competition at the Antalya fest – a tough sell to foreign audiences uninterested in highly austere art house fare.

‘A Wedding’ (‘Noces’): Film Review | Rome Film Festival 2016
Sara (Sebnem Hassanisoughi) is an actress who's been exiled in Paris for over twenty years, and whose life is suddenly upended when she receives a letter from her estranged father back in Iran. Without explanation, she decides to return home immediately and by the only way she can: across the treacherous mountains of Turkey’s Hakkari Province, a Kurdish-populated region that borders Iraq on one side and Iran on the other, with soldiers constantly patrolling the rugged, snow-capped roads in between.

To help get her across, Sara enlists Yilmaz (Aziz Capkurt), a local who’s fluent in both English and Kurdish. The two then set off with a dozen other travelers on foot or by mule, carrying few provisions and relying primarily on instincts to guide them. Most of the group winds up turning back, especially when pinned down by Turkish troops, but Sara persists in her desire to reach Iran at all costs, dragging Yilmaz with her and putting them both in considerable danger along the way.

Filmed on location in Hakkari, Black Crow proves to be an immersive viewing experience at times, especially when Aydin allows the camera to linger on the gray hills stretching into the distance, with the characters dwarfed by the magnificent landscapes. One shot, which reveals a line of oil derricks speckled over the mountaintops, looks so perfect that it could have been created via visual effects, as do a few scenes where mist creeps across the frame in the most cinematic way possible.

But the strong imagery does not make up for the fact that Aydin never develops a captivating enough narrative, giving us so little information about Sara that it’s hard to stick by her side for the 90-plus minute journey. Likewise, the relationship between the actress and her guide, Yilmaz, could have made for an intriguing subplot – and maybe even a romance of sorts – but they hardly talk to one another, with Sara only explaining her backstory during the closing minutes.

Meant to channel the wounds caused by exile and abandon, the final sequences of Black Crow do have a certain power to them and thankfully avoid any kind of uplifting ending. There are only a few false notes in the English-language performances, as well as in the rather treacly soundtrack, but otherwise Aydin delivers a slow if ambitious portrait of foreign bodies in foreign lands -- a quest that's impressive in scope but that lacks a suitable heroine at its core.
