Alia Shawkat and Janet McTeer excel in Tamblyn’s dark first feature on women struggling in their own ways to cope with the sudden passing of a loved one.
2896d ago
Alia Shawkat and Oscar nominee Janet McTeer star as two women trying to fathom a young artist's suicide in actress Amber Tamblyn's directorial debut.
2896d ago
Amber Tamblyn, the actress, author, and filmmaker, doesn’t bother with coyness when it comes to her influences. “The movie I saw in my head was Grey Gardens directed by David Lynch,” she writes in the press notes for her debut feature, Paint It Black, based on Janet Fitch’s 2006 novel.
2896d ago
In her first time behind the camera, Tamblyn shows a full command of technique, and while Paint It Black isn’t quite as bold and as brilliant as its influences, it is none the less captivating, anchored by two stellar performances and sincere drama that offers a few unexpected twists along the way.
2896d ago
As a director, Tamblyn throws everything at the screen, and you wish that some of the choices had been edited down — the color saturation, or the cinematic hallucinations, or the taxidermy and scotch production design of Meredith’s house.
2896d ago
Actress-turned-director Amber Tamblyn's first movie dives headfirst into hot-button subject with grace and grit.
2896d ago
The camera surveys a motel room late in "Paint It Black." It spins on an axis, taking in the entirety of the space. We know that the room is the site of a suicide. We know the general details—a self-inflicted gunshot to the head—but little more.
2896d ago
It combines the brooding intensity of a slow-burn thriller with the high-flown ornamentation of a gothic melodrama.
2896d ago
It’s not an easy movie to embrace, but it lingers.
2896d ago
Dark and boldly expressionistic, Amber Tamblyn's directorial debut attempts to find the cinematic equivalent of novelist Janet Fitch's vivid prose.
2896d ago
A grounded Alia Shawkat and an over-the-top Janet McTeer play off each other as though they were in two completely different movies.
