Review of Runoff (2015) by Bunny B — 09 Jun 2015
Saw this film on the festival circuit and delighted that it's coming to theaters. It's quite uncommon to see such strong performance across the board. From lead, Joanne Kelly to the compromised farmer played by Tom Bower- there is authenticity and nuance in each role.
The setting; the underbelly of the farming industry delivers the viewer into a world rarely portrayed in narrative film. The pacing is complex - it at once reflects the bucolic environs, giving the viewer space and manages to build tension in an organic way, ratcheting things up bit by bit.
The film is allegorical. It contains motifs and metaphor that extend far beyond its subject matter. In a world of tent pole remakes, "Runoff" delivers something fresh. A must see - definitely worth checking out on the big screen.
