If you loved The Crossing Guard, try The Last Face
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Sean Penn, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Crossing Guard, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Last Face is
Apocalypse Now without helicopters. A doctor provides aid in Liberia amidst civil war. Penn's filmmaking wrestles with noble intentions and messy execution.
