Catch and Release (2006 Susannah Grant & scr)

Reviewed here. There's also a triple repeat where Olyphant escorts Garner from the bar. That bed scene is amazing - you can't keep up with how many overlaps there are, and it seems they are coming in and out...


We don't know anything about anyone at the beginning (a funeral) which is quite cool. And we don't see the deceased in flashback. John Lindley shot it.



Grant has since developed A Gifted Man for TV 2011-12, Members Only 2015 TV movie, The 5th Wave (alien attacks, 2016), Confirmation (topical sounding TV movie about sex allegation in politics) and - in pre-production - another TV series, about teenage rape claim, Unbelievable.

It's nothing amazing - but a perfectly well told, well acted, interesting, amusing piece, perhaps lacking in a bit of depth.. I dunno, but it's a once every four years film, and that tells you something...
