| | Movie Haiku: | 2nd collaboration between Batmanglij & co-writer/star Marling is even better than their 1st (the terrific SOUND OF MY VOICE). This time Marling is an FBI agent hired by a well-connected private contractor (Clarkson) to infiltrate an eco-terrorist collective. Tense & fast-moving, this fascinating character study plays out like a feminist version of SERPICO. |
