Night Moves
NIGHT MOVES follows three clandestine activists scheming to blow up a dam – and the ways their lives unravel in the aftermath. Josh, Dena, and Harmon are meant to perform their act of eco-terror and then go their separate ways. But when the full results of their actions come to light, a clean getaway may prove more elusive than they’d anticipated. This is a film about a plot; it is also a far more plot-heavy film than we’re accustomed to seeing from this most austere of auteurs. Perhaps it is best to think of NIGHT MOVES as Reichardt’s personal spin on a genre – but which genre? The film slips seamlessly from a suspenseful thriller into a tale of moral consequence. Only a filmmaker as adept at tone as Reichardt could make such a transition so fluidly. And only a filmmaker with Reichardt's integrity could keep us so captivated, questioning our sympathies and wondering how to navigate our political conscience in troubled times. (Jane Schoettle)
