Ain't Them Bodies Saints

MUST SEE: David Lovery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints - Bowing at Sundance, David Lowery's "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" landed with the excitement of a bold new voice, and yet, there's also something undeniably old-fashioned in his approach, suggesting a lost artifact freshly unearthed from the 1970s, or the origin story behind a half-forgotten folk ballad about criminal lovers whom prison couldn't keep apart. Slow as molasses but every bit as rich, Lowery's gorgeously shot third feature (following two tiny indies) may be too lyrical for mainstream expectations, though strong reviews and a star cast should make this romantic deconstruction of classic outlaw pictures a powerful indie player. 2013SUN. RATING: 8.
