Fierce People – Movie Review
Fierce People is set in 1980′s New Jersey, a masseuse/coke head gets a wealthy man to hire her for the summer to get her life straightened out and to better her son’s life. The son uses this summer to make anthropological observances of the people of the town and estate. While doing so he quickly learns many lessons about life, love, and wealth. It’s directed by Griffin Dunne (Practical Magic) and written by Dirk Wittenborn
The ensemble is great, especially a young(er) Kristen Stewart who plays the granddaughter of Donald Sutherland’s rich patron and love interest to Anton Yelchin’s lead character of Finn. Diane Lane is excellent as always as well. And Elizabeth Perkins puts in a great performance, although one not too off the mark from her Weeds character. Also the usually not so great Chris Evans does a good job too.
Body Paint
There is a particularly memorable scene with Mya (Stewart) and Finn and some paint. And that’s only one in a series of wonderfully shot memorable scenes. But that’s not the only reason to see this film. It’s a well written, well acted, and well directed piece of work.
I definitely recommend checking this out. It’s available on DVD:
Best Buy
Or via Amazon VOD
