It’s #FemaleFilmmakerFriday! As I did last year, I’m beginning my new #DirectedByWomen thread with an Indie Spirit contender. And, since it’s Christmastide, I'm bearing witness to the religious musical bio-pic THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE (2025) by Mona Fastvold. #52FilmsByWomen #1 #Filmsky 📽️

90. River of Grass (1994) Kelly Reichardt.
Me recordó mucho mucho a Wanda de Barbara Loden, ese sentimiento de estar perdida y dejarse llevar, aunque aquí Cozy, que tiene el mejor nombre, al final toma sus decisiones.

Sobre una mujer rebasada por la vida, creo que se acerca más a lo que Die my love quería decir sobre la maternidad.

Amé la escena del ataque de pánico y la bondad de los extraños.
Puede ser medio cursi pero ese final y todo lo referente al gatito es demasiado calientito. Sorpresivamente no lloré tanto.
