‘Jazzy’ Review: Morrisa Maltz Fashions a Beautiful Sequel to ‘The Unknown Country’
Debuting at Tribeca and produced by Lily Gladstone, 'Jazzy' reinforces Morrisa Maltz as a true independent and a soulful storyteller.
While there was much Oscar buzz around “Killers of the Flower Moon” actor Lily Gladstone(one of the most exciting cinematic names of the past decade), there was another Gladstone-starrer out in the world last year, quietly captivating a smaller audience in limited release. That picture was Morrisa Maltz’s hypnotic road movie “The Unknown Country,” an original narrative touched by a documentarian’s perceptive sensibility that followed Gladstone’s Tana on a journey through the American Midwest and, ultimately, her grief. Rest assured, “Jazzy” isn’t ultimately the story of that break-up; rather, it’s a tale of a delicate yet unbreakable friendship that morphs through tricky familial relationships, romantic and bodily awakenings and the shared language of youth that will ring true for and translate into any tongue effortlessly.
