Man the past week and change has certainly been a blur. Covering AFI Fest has been both a blessing and a curse but I am glad to have had the chance to see movies I would have otherwise missed. Now that the festival is over, I can reclaim a bit of my life. Before I do that wholesale, I figured I’d do a wrap up post with links to my reviews as well as my awards for the fest. Check it out!
Two years ago Ashgar Farhadi gifted the world with a dazzling movie titled A Separation. Winning every award in sight, it announced the filmmaker to an audience he didn’t previously have, like myself. So when it was announced that the director would have his follow up film The Past at AFI I rushed out to have the opportunity to see the flick. While the movie doesn’t reach the operatic heights of his prior film, The Past is still a solid movie.
