Negative Positive
Title: A Little Cloudy
Review: Janie Jones is part of the Tribeca Film Series. At its' heart it is a deeply affecting father-daughter story. Ethan Brand (Alessandro Nivola) is a hard partying musician on the comeback trail with his band when an old flame decides to go to rehab leaving him in charge of his previously unknown thirteen year old daughter Janie Jones (Abigail Breslin) As Ethan Brand continues to spiral out of control, progressively losing everything, Janie is there to bail him out, as everyone else turns away from him.All of the characters were so deeply fleshed out that they stuck with me after the film ended. I also appreciated that the filmmakers didn't go with the cliché happy ending, yet offered the viewer the idea that Janie and Ethan could be okay. The lighting along with location shooting and set design came together to give Janie Jones a dark and gritty feel more than worthy of the seedy transient characters that inhabit the story.Best film I've watched in awhile.
