Mickey and the Bear (2019)
Movie way beyond Attanasio's years
I was skeptical before seeing Mickey and the Bear, as I am with all movies that score such high ratings... but after 15 minutes I was convinced of Annabelle Attanasio's raw talent to write dialogue and knack for layered story telling. Attanasio's use of the Anaconda landscape was brilliant. She remained thoughtful and intentional with her treatment of heavy topic matters like codependent child parent relationships and drug addiction, yet managed to keep the narrative intriguing. I remained on the edge of my seat and completely fell of my seat by the end. Props to Attanasio. For such a young writer she has skill and knowledge way beyond her years. And if you don't go for the story itself, go for James Badge Dale and Calvin Demba. Two underrated talented actors yet to flourish into Hollywood movie stars.
