The CineFiles

This was a solid block of films. Napping Princess was confusingly surreal but charming and beautifully animated. God of War was a solid entry in the historical battle epic genre that Hong Kong directors excel at and the lead actor who played General Qi was gloriously stoic and had a fabulous face for drawing. The Todrick Hall documentary was a delight. And wow, Patti Cake$ was my favorite of the fest. This film was so genuine and real and I was blown away that this was the first full length feature film for the writer/director as well as many of the young leads. I really hope this picture gets wider release.
