Que filme bom é Eu, Você e a Garota que vai morrer (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, EUA, 2015) de Alfonso Gomez-Rejon. Adaptado do livro de mesmo nome de Jesse Andrews, que assina o roteiro, o longo é um daqueles poucos que vencem o "clichê". Estamos carecas de saber como que filmes de doenças são batidos, entretanto este vai além do câncer da personagem "que vai morrer". Temos um enredo tão delicado com as angústias e desafios da adolescência, as decisões complicadas para futuro. A doença aqui não é a protagonista, é apenas o combustível necessário para que o personagem principal encare sua propria vida de maneira justa. Mas além disso, o principal de "Eu,Você e a Garota que vai morrer" é seu amor ao cinema. A beleza de mostrar a juventude rejuvenescer o cinema, e como este é fonte inegável de expressão pessoal. Sem dúvida, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon criou aqueles filmes que se torna inevitável um sorriso no rosto ao final, e um agradecimento enorme pelo seu tempo bem gasto. Grande Prêmio do Júri e do Público em Sundance 2015. #euvoceeagarotaquevaimorrer #MeandEarlandtheDyingGirl #alfonsogomezrejon #sundance2015

"The Wolfpack” (d. Crystal Moselle; 2015)
Worrying about their family is always in the forefront of a good parent’s mind, but at what point does this concern begin to drive a person to act in fear rather than goodwill?
The winner of this year’s Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize, “The Wolfpack” is a strange, immersive documentary that enters the life of the Angulo family and the confines of their Lower East Side apartment in Manhattan. The seven Angulo children and their two parents are holed up on the 16th floor of their building scarcely leaving for anything, including food, due to the paranoid fears of their father, Oscar. Director Crystal Moselle was fueled by a chance encounter on one of their few outings to understand and document a circumstance quite unique to anywhere in the world. 
Tumblr media
Grainy recordings out of their barred window show children dressed up on Halloween, a light winter dusting and various traffic jams that interrupt scenes of the boys eating dinner together in one of the corners of their four bedroom apartment. In a documentary featuring home movies from all of their youngest years, it doesn’t seem out of the place given the video quality, but a timestamp showing the year 2010 in the lower right-hand corner betrays itself, revealing just how long these boys and their family have been removed from the rest of their building and city.
To pass the years, the brothers obsessively watched any movie they could get their hands on, but they didn’t just consume this media either - they lived it. They transposed the lines, memorized them, created elaborate cardboard sets, props, and costumes and recorded Angulo Brothers productions of The Dark Knight, among others.
Tumblr media
Many of the scenes that compose this piece are candid, fly-on-the-wall recordings of the boys in their element. It showed them making dinner with Mom’s approval on the crucial elements of the perfect spaghetti sauce and glimpses of siblings arguing over inane reasons. I started to feel charmed by their dynamic amongst one another, their brotherly bond and their quips of movie one-liners - the foundation to every conversation they had.
The illusion of fun and camaraderie, whatever amount there was, quickly dissolves. We hear about the boys growing displeasure with their father, recounting the fact that only Oscar has the key to the front door. We see them talk about their strained relationship and the silent treatments as they look around the corner and pause anytime they sense the door creak. Moselle finally shows us Oscar’s origin as a self-proclaimed “free man” in one of only two interviews with the boys’ father. We see the door open into Oscar’s life, but only enough to understand the reason he put his family on this path in the first place, not much more. What’s missing is more of an understanding of Oscar and his reasons for never turning their situation around. Though given his paranoia I don’t see any reason to have that expectation.
Tumblr media
Moselle does a masterful job of creating a lighthearted reassurance of the boys’ lives and their ability to find solace amongst one another. The clips of their productions, including an original, seem so childlike and oblivious. Her transition from that perceived naivety to the surreal, uncomfortable standoff between the kids and their father was terribly unsettling and kept me completely enthralled through the film’s entire run-time.
As we catch The Wolfpack leaving their apartment for one of several outings, we frequently catch them beaming over the smallest things, acting like rescued animals released from their cages, sprinting down subway platforms nearly in sync, shoulder-to-shoulder. They’ve finally tasted their autonomy, their freedom, and there’s no real option but to make this city, not just their apartment, their home.
My Verdict: 5/5
Favorite Performance: N/A

I co-wrote this short film with director Zachary Heinzerling. It premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. It’s a fable about a man who goes hunting the red grouse in the Scottish Highlands, but everything he sees changes shape right before his eyes. The visuals are based on artist Hugh Hayden’s work, who also starred as the only human role.
