I looked at that. There isn't much information yet. You think she has any potential?

brokentiny, myself and another person talked briefly about this movie in one of the criticism threads (Critical Responses to Lynch), more specifically about Boxing Helena and then the fact this new movie was coming up.

I absolutely think it has potential and I'm excited to see the film if/when it's released. I'm even more curious though why the 15-year gap. Maybe BH was too traumatic an experience, which is exactly what I didn't want to speculate about. Props to her though. The premise of the film sounds great.
Leland's daughter was murdered and the Norwegians left.

"Boxing Helena" is really good movie, not a perfect one, but a highly impressive debut. So Ms.Lynch might be able to make something outstanding once she has more experience.

Here, here, to those of us who really liked "Boxing Helena." :wink:
I hope Jennifer does a bang-up job on the new movie!

Not being a big fan of "Boxing Helena" (but to be fair I haven't seen it in a long time), I still fully recognise it was an impressive debut and for someone to have worked and survived through the turmoil and controversy of making it should be congratulated. I hope the new Jennifer Lynch film turns out well and look forward to seeing it.

And it would be nice for her to be recognised on her own as a filmmaker and not just David's daughter who makes films too.
There is something important to be said

Don't know if it's been posted in here, but the movie is going to Cannes in a few weeks. After that, it will make some rounds in Europe. Right now, nobody's saying about the US release. But it sounds like David's in control.

Some people were comparing it to Boxing Helena. For me, I hope it feels a bit more pollished and mature that Helena... Hopefully your review answers my question. :)

Hey, is there a web page for it playing in the US? Or was it just a special screening for big shots like you, dugpa?

No website that I know of at the moment. I know one of the crew members that got me into a press screening.

Review coming up soon....
