Tracy Wright and Molly Parker are former rock chicks who meet up 10 years after their last show in Bruce MacDonald's Trigger, and there's a lot of resentment there, but also a broken-hearted love and the ability to fall back into old patterns that feels very true to life. Speaking of true to life, while I've always liked Parker, Wright is the one who sells the idea of them as retired rock stars, and that's quite appropriate. Parker plays the sell-out (and in terms of casting, has been in a lot more American stuff), while Wright plays the purer musician. Authenticity can also be found in the rock scene presented, because it's MacDonald, so of course it is. Though a quiet walk-and-talk kind of film, it does have some wry humor and flights of cinematic fancy in how it deals with the two women's history with addiction. One could do worse than put this one a double bill with Hard Core Logo as both films play with the same themes, setting their characters a decade apart. 10 months 1 week ago
