Our #MovieOfTheWeek is Katie Aselton's MAGIC HOUR
It's tricky to discuss Katie Aselton's poignant relationship drama MAGIC HOUR without revealing the story twists that give it such a powerful emotional punch. The writer-director-star crafts the first act of her film very carefully, setting viewers' expectations and then challenging them. The result is both romantic and touching, with memorable performances by Aselton and co-star Daveed Diggs and a gorgeous, haunting setting amid the singular landscape of #JoshuaTree.
