A complex, pivotal moment in the life of author Flannery O'Connor receives sensitive treatment by the father-daughter filmmaking duo, joined by Laura Linney.
Flannery O’Connor’s thrillingly hard-edged tales about the unreconstructed South and its redemption-deficient malcontents will never lose their power to scratch us awake with their violence, humor and ugly truth. Such great, complicated artists don’t deserve the shallow cradle-to-grave treatment common to so many biopics, and thankfully, Ethan Hawke’s new film “Wildcat” isn’t that.
In the ones where bold, brash men bring thunder and change to unsuspecting young women , scene partners Steve Zahn, Rafael Casal and Cooper Hoffman do memorable work. These segments diverge in tone, color and movement from the muted palette and fixed compositions with which cinematographer Steve Cosens girds the biographical narrative. But they’re expertly threaded in, suggesting how a creative loner can experience flare-ups of imagination when the world reveals itself.
