Emily Wheeler’s coverage of the 2021 Heartland Film Festival continues with looks at The Humans, Cow, What Josiah Saw, and No Straight Lines.
With The Humans, director Stephen Karam uses cinematic space and language to transform his play into one remarkable film.
As darkness falls outside the crumbling building, mysterious things start to go bump in the night and family tensions reach a boiling point.
The Seagull is a gorgeous adaptation of one of the world’s most beloved plays. The characters are not always likable, but what the film has to say about love, art, fame, and other human desires remain powerful even in the age of Internet celebrity.
