Forced onto the streets in her 50s, Marie found
“home” at a Santa Monica Laundromat where she
works and sleeps for 7-days-a-week. Taking shelter
there for 20 years, Mimi’s passion for pink, and
living without looking back, has taken her from
homelessness to Hollywood’s red carpets.

NARRATIVE
Director: Tom Browne
Producers: Tom Browne, Genevieve Stevens
Executive Producers: Rachel Weisz, Barbara Broccoli
Cast: Daniel Cerqueria, Richard Johnson, Gemma
Jones
USA/93 Min
In a film executive produced by Oscar winning
actress Rachel Weisz, debut writer/director Tom
Browne begins what should be a long career with
a darkly comic and intensely personal examination
of family life, marriage, age and love. When Daniel
goes back to help his long-suffering mother deal
with his increasingly cantankerous and increasingly
ill father, he gets more than he bargained for.
Browne set the film in his deceased real-life parents’
home. Deeply felt, beautifully rendered.

Recalling John Hughes’ lighthearted yet meaningful
teen comedies of the 80’s, Gren Wells’ entertaining
dramedy about disorders and disorderly conduct
follows a trio of teenage residents who escape their
psychiatric behavioral clinic. Robert Sheehan gives
a convincing performance capturing the physical
tics and verbal outbursts of Tourette’s Syndrome
along with the emotional anguish. Zoë Kravitz
balances a complex performance as the anorexic
girl maintaining a tough, confident exterior and Dev
Patel highlights the humorous yet isolating side of
OCD with impeccable comedic timing.

USA/86 Min
Just like in the 80’s when the farm loan crisis
sparked a series of films dealing with the economics
of family farms (Country, The River, and Places in
the Heart), three decades later, the controversies
over hormones and chemicals used in farming
have spawned a new family farm drama. Kimberly
Levin’s incredibly researched and detailed drama
gives a glimpse into the realities of farm life where
the protagonists are tempted to save their family
farm through transporting and dumping illegal farm
chemicals.
