Sky

Sky, despite its Hitchcockian beginning, is no thriller; instead, it’s a character study of a woman seeking a second act, and of a landscape that gradually transforms from foreign to welcoming.

Though the first half of the film is far more interesting than the overwrought melodrama that it becomes, Sky remains a deeply compelling and optimistic valentine to the possibilities of the West.

This expressionistic portrait of the American West is an oddity that only a director from another country could have conjured.

Fabienne Berthaud's Sky is a road movie that never quite makes the right turns.
