Bruce says: “When Roger Ebert named Kasi Lemmons’ EVE’S BAYOU his film of the year for 1997, I was totally perplexed. Thick with plot, the film never delved very deep into its characters. They spoke volumes and lots happened; but

Director: Jordan Melamed
Starring: Don Cheadle | Joseph Gordon-Levitt | Michael Bacall | Sara Rivas | Zooey Deschanel
Laura says: “Tyro director Jordan Melamed gets natural and perceptive work from a cast comprised of amateurs and professionals. They mine their own truths improvising their way around actors Michael Bacall and Blayne Weaver’s script despite some genre cliches. However,
