Blow the Man Down

Two sisters dump the chum in Blow the Man Down

Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy's Blow the Man Down combines black humor, Americana and noir in a style reminiscent of Jonathan Demme and the Cohen brothers. However, this feature has a distinctive tone wholly its own. Coastal Maine is the backdrop for this murder mystery involving two sisters, played by Sophie Lowe and Morgan Saylor. The leads are serviceable, but the supporting cast is superb; particularly Margo Martindale, Will Brittain and Gayle Rankin. The narrative is a slight affair, but the filmmakers have expertly constructed it with nary a wasted shot. A mordant treat.
