Cold Weather (LAFF)

Cold Weather has set a new bar for quirky buddy movies. I wasn't sure how mumblecore and mystery were going to mix but it far exceeded my expectations. Aaron Katz has crafted something delightfully humorous, suspenseful, and earnest. Not only does it feature a solid cast in Cris Lankenau, Trieste Kelly Dunn and Raul Castillo it's also a well-shot ode to Portland. Every time the camera lingers on the landscape it was a pleasant visual treat.
A brother, a sister, an ice factory, and Sherlock Holmes.
As the LA Film Fest nears its close, Cold Weather is one of the standout films and I'm already looking forward to seeing it again (and eventually buying the DVD). It's that good! IFC will distribute the film in theaters and on-demand.


As an added bonus the movie poster is equally clever.
