213. (19 Sep) Lackawanna Blues (2005, George C. Wolfe) 47



S. Epatha Merkerson's world-weary performance is outstanding and the clear standout in an ensemble full of famous faces. She's giving a plainly theatrical performance, fitting in well with George C. Wolfe's stagy, episodic production. This is clearly his first feature, uncinematic and mostly ineffective, but he gets the best out of his actors minus a hammy Jimmy Smits.
