Desert Road (2024)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Shannon Triplett
Starring: Beau Bridges | Edwin Garcia II | Frances Fisher | Kristine Froseth | Ryan Hurst

Desert Road

Aaron says: “This tightly constructed sci-fi thriller from first-time writer-director Shannon Triplett is the discovery of the fest. Kristine Froseth stars as the nameless (for a while) woman who crashes her car in the Mojave desert and can’t find her

Janie Jones (2011)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Director: David M. Rosenthal
Starring: Abigail Breslin | Alessandro Nivola | Brittany Snow | Elisabeth Shue | Frances Fisher | Frank Whaley | Joel David Moore | Peter Stormare

Janie Jones

Scott says: “In a brief but pivotal scene, Frances Fisher provides the missing piece of the puzzle to the character of her estranged son, a rock and roll musician in the midst of a career meltdown and a surprising personal

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.75 cats
Director: Travis Fine
Starring: Alan Cumming | Don Franklin | Frances Fisher | Garret Dillahunt | Gregg Lambert | Issac Leyva

Any Day Now

Bruce says: “ANY DAY NOW won the Audience Award for best feature at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. Already I have heard snide comments about its deservedness. How does it happen that every film dealing with disabilities is tagged as

Sedona (2011)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 2.125 cats
Director: Tommy Stovall
Starring: Beth Grant | Christopher Atkins | Frances Fisher | Matthew J. Williamson | Seth Peterson

Sedona

Michael says: “Some strong performances and a naturally mystical setting can’t quite rise above a screenplay that is a little too new agey and coincidental to fully work as a film. Tammy (Fisher) is on her way to Phoenix to

House of Sand and Fog (2003)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.5 cats
Director: Vadim Perelman
Starring: Ben Kingsley | Frances Fisher | Jennifer Connelly | Jonathon Ahdout | Ron Eldard | Shohreh Aghdashloo

House of Sand and Fog

Diane says: “I’m on a mainstream roll! HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG is a five-cat book, and here not reduced too awfully much in its film version. Ben Kingsley is perfect as Colonel Behrani, the exiled Iranian trying to recoup

Blue Car (2003)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 2.9 cats
Director: Karen Moncrieff
Starring: Agnes Bruckner | David Straithairn | Frances Fisher | Margaret Colin

Blue Car

Esmé says: “I really liked this movie a lot. The main character’s pathos was palpable (it was about poetry, I can alliterate, can’t I?) I was really moved by the story, and having just watched LILJA 4-EVER, I was suspicious
