Last night I scratched a 10 year old cinematic itch, I sat down and watched Cory Cataldo's newly released (but shot and shelved in 2012) film Without Ward. Featuring the likes of Michael Gladis, James Duval Marguerite Moreau, Harold Parineau and of course Martin Landeau as the titular Ward this movie was worth the wait .When a rich family wakes up from a drug induced fantasy in a 1984 esque rigid bloodless world where lawyers hold sway, the already dysfunctional group risks imploding (not to mention any transgression carries an instant death sentence). I thoroughly enjoyed this ride. This feature was beautifully shot, has a nice score that doesn't overwhelm you, the acting is captivating. The movie also feels timely though not in an "In your face" type fashion. Long rant cut short it's a feast for the senses. I have no doubt the film will find its audience give it a try maybe you are said audience I know I am.
