Glenn Kenny's Blog: Rabbit Status: Still Uncaught
Writer-director-producer Kampmeier's feature, starring young Dakota Fanning as an Elvis-obsessed abused child in some indeterminate Southern glade at some indeterminate time in the '50s, is too much a compendium of Southern Gothic cliches to be even vaguely engaging, let alone harrowing and heartbreaking.

Glenn Kenny's Blog: I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You
Today, Monday, is my last day at the Sundance Film Festival. This being the case, I've decided to take the perhaps irresponsible move of not going where the buzz is but where my inclination takes me. At least that will be the case until later this evening, whereupon I will be extremely responsible and see Hounddog which, given the way it's being referred to by Sundancers thus far, might as well be retitled The Dakota Fanning Rape Movie.

Glenn Kenny's Blog: Waitress
I'm really pleased and frankly relieved to report that, a couple of snippable minutes and some dubious music choices aside (that Cake song about the jacket is one thing, but a cover of Howard Jones' "No One Is To Blame" is pushing it), writer/director Adrienne Shelly's final feature Waitress is a delight, a refreshing comedy that mixes a bunch of familiar ingredients in offbeat ways that pay off every time READ MORE FROM GLENN...

Glenn Kenny's Blog: Exile on Main Street
I've gathered a couple of pretty entertaining anecdotes up here at Sundance, but given the umbrella that this blog is under, they would constitute telling tales out of school. I really think I need to consult that New York Times Ethicist guy about this. So for now I'll let you ponder the above title,and talk about a few films: Ghosts of Abu Ghraib, Expired, Snow Angels and more.READ MORE FROM GLENN...

Glenn Kenny's Blog: The Chicago 10
Caught the opening night film, Brett Morgen's The Chicago Ten, last night. This is a picture that answers the burning question, "How can you make a film about the cataclysmic events, political and otherwise, of 1968 and a little beyond, without even mentioning the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy?" READ MORE FROM GLENN...
