The Playlist:
It's impossible to see “Shadow Dancer,” James Marsh's adaptation of the thriller by Tim Bradby without being immediately drawn to Andrea Riseborough and her infamous red raincoat. As Colette McVeigh, she's engrossed within her family's own dealings with the IRA during the peace process and becomes an unwitting mole for the MI-5 in order to be with her son. It’s a crackling slow burn thriller (our review here) that not only finds the director once again in new territory, but also showcases the rising actress as the real deal.
The Playlist joined press to speak with Marsh and Riseborough the day after “Shadow Dancer” won over crowds at the Sundance Film Festival. The duo discussed the nature of Colette, dealing with multiple shoots and how she slips in and out of her roles.
"Polite Society" has all the workings of a sleeper hit thanks to its blend of action, comedy, and injection of culture to make it stand out.
With the festival regaining full strength, an assortment of cinematic experiences await to captivate audiences. From Cat Person to Cassandro, here our are the ones we can't wait to take in.
'The Night House' evolves from a simple haunted house story to a chilling examination of grief, with plenty of spooky noises along the way.
When I first saw the name of this movie I dismissed it and then I read a little the second time and saw that it was a spy thriller and it had me hooked.
Once it involves MI-5 and the IRA or and Government agency and MI-5....I'm interested. This sounds like and probably is fiction but so much does happen in real life.
