Millie Lies Low

Despite her fear of flying, Millie is smart and resourceful, making her a wonderful modern heroine. As Millie, Ana Scotney is a revelation. She has the most expressive face I have ever seen. The subtlety of her performance is increasingly captivating as are her physical, very human, comic moments. I could watch this young woman all day.

It treads a beautiful line of comedy and thoughtful reflection on being a young adult. I found the film entertaining throughout and I laughed frequently. With the action magnificently and thoughtfully photographed, this is a rare gem.

The wicked scene that the film's climax pivots on is audacious and exquisitely painful to share with Millie. This deft film earns its unique resolution.
