No More Time

I just saw this environmental thriller at NewFilmmakers Los Angeles and was blown away. It takes the premise of a deadly pandemic and breathes potent atmosphere and character dimension into the unfolding narrative, hinting at ancient consciousness in the land where the wonderful ensemble play out uneasy survival. Visually stunning, the film uses the hypnotic colors of the natural world to amplify the palpable sense of danger in the beyond-human world. Wonderfully naturalistic performances ground sequences that tip into psychedelia. In particular, Mark Reeb delivers a disciplined, thundering performance as a man out of his depths. Jennifer Harlow brings nuanced sensitivity to his wife as she attunes to frequencies beyond the human community. Director Dalila Droege should be commended on her singular vision and the palpable synergy of the collaboration she lead.
