Review: Tribeca 2015: Meadowland

Olivia-Wilde-in-Meadowland-slice

Meadowland, starring Luke Wilson and Olivia Wilde whose son vanishes from a gas station restroom (in the first 5 minutes of the film, so it’s not really a spoiler), is an effective and moving film about the aftermath of a horrible event. The fragmentation of reality as they know it. And the isolation that grief creates. It’s a first feature for the director, and he’s done a wonderful job. The acting is great. It’s screening at the Tribeca Film Festival, and hopefully it will hit theaters at some point.

My review of Meadowland is now up at Rogerebert.com.
