Film Review – Where to Land

Writer/director Hal Hartley returns to screens with “Where to Land,” which is his first picture since 2014’s “Ned Rifle.” While Hartley’s oeuvre has endured a bumpy ride at times, he was missed, with his specialized approach to indie filmmaking giving audiences a unique reminder of his creative voice and take on the world. “Where to Land” represents the helmer’s quest for self-inspection, following the tale of a tired director making contact with his past, present, and future as he attempts to assemble a last will and testament. “Where to Land” is classic Hartley, collecting a small community of characters to deal with an invented crisis, sold with snappy dialogue and terrific acting.
