HERE [ THE STORY SLEEPS ] - Live at Sundance New Frontier
“Less a deconstruction of story than a dismantling of it, Braden King’s mesmerizing presentation is the fractured sibling of HERE, a more traditional, better-behaved feature that’s screening in this year’s U.S. Dramatic Competition.”
Eric Hynes, Sundance Film Festival Blog, January 29, 2011
Sundance Film Festival Roundup
“No film at Sundance explored the tension between old and new media, fixed history and the uncertain future toward which wired life is hurtling, as powerfully as Braden King’s experimental romance, HERE.”
Karina Longworth, LA Weekly, January 27, 2011
Sundance Interview: Director Braden King
“HERE is the story of a romance told in vibrant images. The tiny, dreamy moments spent gazing at the rushing world from a car window, or drinking and laughing with new and old friends — these are the memories that HERE burns into your brain.”
James Ponsoldt, Filmmaker Magazine, January 28, 2011
HERE: Love in the Time of Google Maps
“King’s blending of naturalism and pure cinematic flourish, the startlingly direct romantic philosophy nestled within layers of enigmatic writing… packs an unexpectedly powerful emotional punch. It’s the road trip romance reinvented, remapped.”
Karina Longworth, LA Weekly, January 24, 2011
