Pillow Talking Spotlight — SARAH Q a film by John Gallagher
In Pillow Talking’s Spotlight today is the bold new indie film by legendary filmmaker John Gallagher.
Fort Lauderdale Film Festival to Screen Indie Fave SARAH Q
The prestigious Fort Lauderdale Film Festival will be screening indie filmmaker John Gallagher’s new feature length film, SARAH Q.
Like many of the new wave of netflix and amazon shows that young audiences are binging on, Sarah Q possesses the same kind of ambiguous, undefinable nuances and layers that hold an audiences attention. Parallels can be drawn between Woody Allen’s “Irrational Man” and the classic book of the same name by William Barrett where new age existentialism clashes with as the they say in “Inherit the Wind” — “give me that old time religion.”
Gallagher who always had a knack for getting name actors for his indies has outdone himself this time, bringing five former Sopranos stars together and casting mostly against type. Add to that film icons like Burt Young and Sally Kirkland, and you have a film filled with more experience and war stories than Ben-Hur (the original, not the remake). Add to that an incredibly solid performance by ingenue Emmy Tanzy, and you have an independent film with a cast to die for.
And, without giving away any spoilers, the ending kills!
A must see — Fort Lauderdale Film Festival — Screenings will be November 9th Nov 9, 6pm, Savor Cinema and Sunday, Nov 11, 1:45 at Cinema Paradiso.
