FESTIVAL REVIEW: ‘DID YOU WONDER WHO FIRED THE GUN?’

Written by JAKE MULLIGAN Posted October 1, 2017 Filed Under: A+E, Film

In this recorded version, there are still vestiges of the confrontational manner of a live performance—certain lines in the narration stick out that way, for better or for worse, like “this is not a white savior story, this is a white nightmare story,” or, with regards to Harper Lee’s original Mockingbird, “her [story] is liberal—mine is radical.”

CIFF CAPSULE: “MAINELAND”

Written by JAKE MULLIGAN Posted September 14, 2017 Filed Under: A+E, Film
