Unexpected
20 April 2023
One of the finer discoveries in my search for obscure and unseen films, Moira Kelly is such an incredible, plunky, tomboy leading lady. One of the unsung stars of recent decades, from Gen X. This shows she could have been big in the 40s, 50s, or any era. Directors who knew, knew.

It was produced by the Paulist Fathers, a Catholic religious order, and directed by Michael Ray Rhodes, and the question is... who are these people? Because this is powerhouse filmmaking start to finish. The film's scale is unbelievable, every scene is crammed with energy.

The camera is so effortlessly free flowing and expressive, almost like a Japanese film the way it captures movement. When it's not moving or taking you through crowds, it is printing these beautiful human moments. It's pitch perfect acting and directing in total lockstep.
