MOVIE REVIEW: Ain’t Them Bodies Saints
October 1st, 2013 Grace Duffy Movie: Ain’t Them Bodies Saints Director: David Lowery The brooding, dreamlike landscapes of Ain’t Them Bodies Saints will inevitably invite comparisons with Terrence Malick’s Badlands, not least because both films focus on a pair of young and star-crossed lovers. However, David Lowery’s gorgeous indie is a decidedly more localized, intimate film than Malick’s masterwork, rich […]
