We're now sitting back at the Egyptian just a few minutes away from a screening of Noise have just grabbed some food after getting out of Waitress. So what about Waitress… I was very pleasantly surprised. There's been a lot of hype surrounding this film, mainly because of director Adrienne Shelly's untimely death this past year. This film, premiering at Sundance, now marks her final directorial effort. I'm always wary of hype, particularly Sundance-related hype. But this film really stood out as a beautiful piece of cinema. Simple in plot yet extremely complex in character and style, this is definitely a film befitting of its place as Adriene's last work. It’s a film that really captures her style in a beautiful way. Genuinely heartwarming and even though you know where the film is likely to end up at, the journey there is unexpected and a joy to experience. I’d best describe the feeling walking out of the theater as euphoria.We learned from the Q&A following the film that it’s been picked up for US distribution by Fox Searchlight, so this one’ll be in theaters sometime in the coming months. Definitely make this one a must-see.
