Example Sentences
Justin Dack, 50, of Dereham, Norfolk, told the BBC he was waiting with his wife, son and two friends for nearly three and a half hours.
Directed by Jamie Dack, who based it on her same-titled 2018 short film, “Palm Trees and Power Lines” starts off as a depressive snapshot of youthful ennui and soon becomes a stark, harrowing story of predation and abuse.
I’m reluctant to discuss the full extent of Tom’s agenda, especially since “Palm Trees and Power Lines,” which Dack co-wrote with Audrey Findlay, largely rests on the tension between how much Lea knows or suspects, and how much we in the audience do.
There are no heartening answers to these questions, and Dack’s rigorous, unsparing honesty is both a measure and perhaps a limitation of her movie’s power.
But Dack, whose methodical direction won her a prize at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, never allows us to fall under Tom’s spell, or to lose ourselves entirely in Lea’s perspective.
