Milestone
With its premiere at the Venice Film Festival's Horizons section in 2020, 'Meel Patthar' ('Milestone') is an Indian film that perfectly captures the anxieties of the postmodern world, where humans, as products, seem to be thrown away and replaced by the great industrial machinery -- à la 'You Were Not Here'. Some of its metaphors are a bit crude, and some of its protagonist's decisions border on the implausible, but it is a solid drama for those looking for something a bit deeper.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
