The Schleicher Spin's Uptown Review

Here is a cool, comprehensive review of Uptown by The Schleicher Spin . Among other things, the blog features independent art and spotlights it.

Uptown is having its East Coast Premiere on June 2nd, 8pm, at the Anthology Film Archives as part of the NewFilmmakers Spring Series 2010. Find more info on the screening HERE.

Here is some of the review after the jump:



"Brian Ackley (who also co-scripted the film with his two stars) embraces the low-budget aesthetics of indie films. There’s nothing like filming in NYC, and Ackley takes full advantage of the natural setting. Well paced and nicely shot, Ackley puts you right there with this likable though flawed pair and makes you feel as if you’re strolling along as a third wheel on their dates throughout the city. With all of its relationship-focused “walking and talking” scenes, Ackley crafts a meaningful and real film reminiscent of the early works of Richard Linklater and Nicole Holofcener."
