Review of The Killing of Wendy

The good production value may be one of this film's strong points but the ultimate clincher is the casting. Where else do you get Michael Boatman and Natalie Reid in the same room at the beginning of the movie. And if bitchiness is nigh worthy of praise then Wendy certainly takes the cup as played by Vanessa Bell Calloway. Ensemble pieces by their nature are a tricky lot but somehow the chemistry this cast exudes on screen makes it work, turning Jason Conway's irreverence into a cocky perspective were it could easily have come off as crassness in the hands of less apt talent. Jason pulls no stops when it comes to the shenanigans that unfold when you put ten very ambitious women under one roof. Be warned, you'll have to sit through the end credits to get a full picture of what exactly transpired in this murder mystery.
