Review of Ballast (2008) by Kenneth Turan for Los Angeles Times — 16 May 2008
A quintessentially American story that unmistakably echoes European art house cinema, combining the aesthetic purity of France's Robert Bresson with the social consciousness of Belgium's Dardenne brothers.
It also is a powerful, character-driven melodrama that easily holds our attention from first to last.
