Beyond What Remains (2016)
A strangely beautiful road trip movie.
Peter Tharos and team have made such a beautiful movie. On the surface it's a road trip movie, (who doesn't love a good road trip movie!), but you've never seen one quite like this before. It's quirky and meaningful and really quite funny throughout. Most of the film is in black and white and so beautifully shot that at points it takes your breath away. The performances are fantastic in that way that makes you wonder why the actors aren't known yet. The ending satisfyingly pulls at the heart strings if a little abrupt for my taste. I'm not suggesting it's a perfect movie. I noticed the score on a couple of occasions coming forward more than I'd like or not as much as I'd like. The odd meandering moment, sure. But the thing to note here is that this is Tharos' first film. It's a massive indie undertaking and it's almost astounding how good it is given the scope of the movie. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. This film is definitely worth your time.
