S. James Wegg Reviews Uptown



S. James Wegg of jamesweggreview.org just wrote a raving review of Brian Ackley's Uptown. Here is some of it below:

"Brian Ackley’s first feature is a beautifully crafted, superbly acted film that explores the symptoms, realities and emotions of a doomed but unstoppable relationship. Anyone who has ever fallen in love with “the wrong person” will savour this story seen through such a thoughtful and understanding eye.

Co-written with the protagonists (Chris Riquinha as single-filmmaker Ben, Meissa Hampton as newlywed-dog-walker Isabel—late of Paris, so intriguingly reminiscent of Isabelle in The Dreamers, cross-reference below), it is little wonder that the scenes work so well: every line—scripted or improvised—comes from the same artistic trust so buy-in from the actors is virtually guaranteed."
