Review of The Selfish Giant (2013) by Anthony Lane for The New Yorker — 06 Jan 2014
From the beginning, you can feel this restive, pulsing movie burn from discontent toward disaster. The whole thing should sap the spirit, and make you despair of a lost and wasted country, yet you are constantly shocked awake by the energy of Arbor, whether it is spent on insolence, initiative, or grief.
The boy’s a bright wire.
