'Overcast' - MiamisFF Review
The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.

The relationship between a young influencer and her mother, who is also her manager, is the center of the film. Through the two perspectives of the main characters, we follow Nika's transition from adolescence to adulthood. Everything is uncertain, except for her desire to become famous.

We chat with Penelope Lawson about her short film, The Dinner Party, her experience founding her own production company, and fun cinema.
“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates. Now we see our contemporary realities and, just being honest, it makes a sentiment like this seem SO overtly far away….perhaps even impossible….to accept or believe could be. It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.
An anti-war film denouncing the valorization of senseless violence, 'All Quiet on the Western Front' is (unfortunately) all too relevant in 2022.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
This film’s ambition is betrayed by its lack of substance.
