Freeland does a fine job, waiting for her characters to converge in a way that doesn't feel overly forced, though there is a bit of that "Crash" tidiness in how things fall together. Still, the film is moving and human. Read full review

Drunktown's Finest shows a filmmaker struggling to find her voice. It's a whisper here, but we can hear it. Read full review
