Stilwater. Quick Review. (Suggestive Spoilers)

Matt Damon plays an oil rig worker travelling from Oklahoma to Marseilles France. He is investigating the case that resulted in his daughter Abigail Breslin getting imprisoned. Sounds like a fairly typical Oscar bait injustice correction drama right. In a lot of ways it is. However what if this critic said that Stilwater please like a decidedly right-wing parody of these kinds of narratives.…

STILLWATER (2021)

Starring Matt Damon, Camille Cottin, Abigail Breslin, Lilou Siauvaud, Deanna Dunagan, Idir Azougli, Anne Le Ny, Lea McCormick, Ginifer Ree, Ryan Music, Kyle Jacob Henry, Robert Peters, Lena Harmon, Kelly Bellacci, Lisandro Boccacci, April Warren, Erin Herring, Leesa Neidel, Moussa Maaskri, Justin France, Gary Sievers, Emily Bertels and Geoff Barron.

Screenplay by Tom McCarthy & Marcus Hinchey, Thomas Bidegain & Noé Debré.

Directed by Tom McCarthy.

Distributed by Focus Features. 140 minutes. Rated R.

Much like the hero at the center of the film, Stillwater is not at all what you originally expect it will be. Looking at it just from the trailer, it appears to be a thriller about an American girl jailed for murder in Europe – perhaps somewhat loosely based on the Amanda Knox case.

However, that thumbnail sketch is far from doing credit to the complex character-driven charm and complicated geo-political and cultural issues which co-writer/director Tom McCarthy (Spotlight, The Station Agent, The Visitor) brings to the story. This Stillwater runs much deeper than you may at first expect.

The story mostly lays on the broad shoulders of Matt Damon, who does some of his finest work as Bill Baker, an Oklahoma sometimes-employed construction worker and self-described “fuck up,” who must fly to Marseille in France when his estranged daughter Allison (played by grown-up former child star Abigail Breslin) is jailed for nine years for the murder of her girlfriend.

Bill would seem spectacularly unqualified for the task of traversing the complicated French legal system – a fact even that his daughter recognizes. Amongst other things, he stubbornly speaks no French, not even trying to learn the native language even though he has been visiting periodically for five years since his daughter has been involved in her legal troubles.

She begs him to deliver a letter to her lawyer, discussing a slight lead towards finding a man she claims was responsible for the killing. When the lawyer dismisses the lead as mere hearsay, Bill lies to Allison, saying the lawyer is tracking things down, and he starts to investigate himself.

Of course, speaking no French, he has his work cut out for him. He meets a neighbor in the hotel, Virginie (Camille Cottin) and befriends her and her adorable little daughter Maya (Lilou Siauvaud). Virginie agrees to be his translator and help him find the man who his daughter claims was responsible for the killing.

This is one of many places where Stillwater goes against the grain of the thriller playbook. The film luxuriates in the growing friendship between Bill and Maya – and her mother – to the point where he even becomes a roommate. Bill starts to appreciate the way of life there, even (sacré bleu!) learning a bit of French.

It turns out that Bill is not the stereotypical ugly American that some would assume. He is a soft-spoken, very devout and sometimes self-deprecating man who does recognize his faults and bears a lot of guilt for not being there for Allison when she was growing up. However, he does have some faults which will feed into the stereotype – he is quick-tempered, stubborn and tends to always think he is right.

Of course, in the post-Trump atmosphere when America is looked at with more suspicion than at previous times, it makes this kind of character even more of a balancing act. The people he meets in France generally come to like, or at least respect him, but few totally trust him.

This is made blatant when Virginie’s best friend outright asks him, “Did you vote for Trump?” For the record he didn’t, but with the proviso that it was because he had a criminal record and couldn’t vote. Bill never states one way or another what his political leanings are. (On a guess, I’d say he would have, but that’s just a guess, and in this case, it really doesn’t matter, anyway.)

This ambiguity is part of what makes Stillwater so fascinating. Every man has their own reasons in life. Stillwater lets you get closer to people which you may judge upon sight, and it lets you realize that they are not as transparent as you may have originally thought. Allison and Virginie also turn out to be much more complex than first glance would say.

The movie slightly gets away from McCarthy when Bill actually tracks down the man who may be the killer. But even after this slight plotting misstep, Stillwater regains its footing.

At nearly two and a half hours long, Stillwater sometimes luxuriates in going off on side-tracks and making character more important than plot, but the film never drags. Apart from the short plot hiccup noted above, it is always fascinating. And if Damon is not nominated for an Oscar for this role, then there is something wrong in the world.

New York Films Head to Park City for Sundance Film Festival

Nineteen films and two pilots that participated in the New York State Film Tax Credit Program will be screened next month at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Since 1985, hundreds of films launched at Sundance—one of the world’s largest film festivals—have gained critical recognition, received commercial distribution and reached global audiences eager for fresh perspectives and new voices. Films that shoot or do post-production work in New York have traditionally been well-represented at Sundance, set for Jan. 18-28 in Park City, Utah. In addition to their Sundance recognition, this year’s crop of New York films also had an impressive economic impact while they were in production and post production, spending an estimated $38 million in New York and creating an estimated 2,448 hires.

New York’s incentive program, designed to strengthen the state’s film production and post-production industries, is one of the main reasons filmmakers choose to film here. Houston King, producer of Hearts Beat Loud, which will premiere at Sundance, offered an example. "From the inception of Hearts Beat Loud, we wanted to highlight one of our favorite NYC neighborhoods - Red Hook, Brooklyn. Without New York State’s incentive we very likely would have been forced to shoot the film in another state and changed the location of our story,” King said. “The incentive was key to giving our investors comfort that shooting in NYC was the right thing for their investment and the film."

The following projects, screening at Sundance, shot in New York State and participated in the New York State Film Production Tax Credit program: Franchesca Director: Kaitlin Fontana; Executive Producers: Topic Studios, Franchesca Ramsey, Kara Welker Cast: Franchesca Ramsey Hearts Beat Loud Director: Brett Haley; Screenwriters: Brett Haley, Marc Basch; Producers: Houston King, Sam Bisbee, Sam Slater Cast: Nick Offerman, Kiersey Clemons, Ted Danson, Sasha Lane, Blythe Danner, Toni Collette I Think We’re Alone Now Director: Reed Morano; Screenwriter: Mike Makowsky; Producers: Fred Berger, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fernando Loureiro, Roberto Vasconcellos, Peter Dinklage, Mike Makowsky Cast: Peter Dinklage, Elle Fanning A Kid Like Jake Director: Silas Howard; Screenwriter: Daniel Pearle; Producers: Jim Parsons, Todd Spiewak, Eric Norsoph, Paul Bernon, Rachel Song Cast: Claire Danes, Jim Parsons, Octavia Spencer, Priyanka Chopra, Ann Dowd, Amy Landecker The Kindergarten Teacher Director and screenwriter: Sara Colangelo; Producers: Celine Rattray, Trudie Styler, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Osnat Handelsman-Keren, Talia Kleinhendler Cast: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Parker Sevak, Rosa Salazar, Anna Barynishikov, Michael Chernus, Gael Garcia Bernal The Miseducation of Cameron Post Director: Desiree Akhavan; Screenwriters: Desiree Akhavan, Cecilia Frugiuele; Producers: Cecilia Frugiuele, Jonathan Montepare, Michael B.

Come Sunday

The opening scene of this fact-based drama is set on an airplane about to fly to Tulsa. A lawyer, apparently a stressed-out one, given the way she speaks on her cell phone, takes a seat next to a man who soon introduces himself as a pastor. The lawyer, never named but well-played by Allie McCulloch, seems likely to rebuff Carlton Pearson. But he is so empathetic, so charismatic, that before the end of the flight he has her more or less saved.

“Come Sunday,” directed by Joshua Marston from a script by Marcus Hinchey, then cuts to a sermon at the reverend’s Tulsa church, called Higher Dimensions. He’s talking about his encounter and he’s getting a great response from his mega-congregation, including his pal Henry (Jason Segel) a manager of the venue. Organist Reggie (Lakeith Stanfield) is clearly feeling the spirit, too. In the subsequent scenes we get little glimpses into how such places of worship are run like businesses, with religious holidays packaged like rock concerts, and more.

Things look good for the Rev. But he soon finds himself rebuffing a relative who’s asked him to use his influence with a parole situation. The relative takes the rebuff very badly—he kills himself. Later, Pearson is watching television footage of starving children in Africa. His mind takes him to a place that philosophers call theodicy—the questioning of how a supposedly loving God can allow such suffering in the world. Pearson’s a bit more concerned with the afterworld, though. He can’t bear the idea of suffering people who haven’t been “saved” through his gospel going to Hell.

So he concludes—or, he insists, he is told by God—that Hell isn’t real. And he announces his findings in a sermon. So his troubles begin.

This movie is adapted from a 2005 “This American Life” episode called “Heretics,” which told Pearson’s story. This movie is distinguished by some powerful performance. Chiwetel Ejiofor is both dynamic and credibly contemplative as Pearson. Lakeith Stanfield plays Reggie, a character who’s HIV-positive, and consistently encouraged by Pearson to deny who he is: “You can be gay and not do gay,” the preacher advises, after he’s had his epiphany. Stanfield’s work provides the movie’s most resonant emotional notes. Condola Rashad is excellent as Pearson’s conflicted wife, and Martin Sheen and Danny Glover provide superb support. Segel’s Henry, who breaks off a splinter church after Pearson persists in his “heresy,” is underwritten, but the actor soldiers through the role with integrity.

The movie itself, overall, feels kind of bloodless. Scenes in which Pearson is called upon to defend his new vision kind of fizzle rather than catch fire. The collapse of his church is depicted in undifferentiated scenes that pack no punch. Pearson’s spiritual and practically adoptive father Oral Roberts rebuffs his acolyte in the quietest, politest way possible. It’s only at the end, when Pearson and Reggie have a moving confrontation, and Pearson’s epiphany is shown to have a political dimension, that the movie shows signs of digging in its heels. Up until that point, well-acted and “interesting” is all it can offer.
