Yeah they sound alike. He was basically asking the woman what she was doing there, he must be the owner of the property. So she showed him the pictures and there was one he didn't want her to have, even though the pictures were for her. So he forced her to delete that one.
Why am I explaining? It was easy enough to understand, lol xD
EDIT: And yes, I want to watch the movie for the movie itself, not just the music. It's about photography, somewhat. So I really wanna know what's on it. The story reminds me of the movie The Bang Bang Club. A great movie about war photographers as well. One of the photographers is very known for the vulture and the drying child photograph, Kevin Carter. But it doesn't matter here xD

Yes, it is. And I do like alternative cinema, so I'm eager to watch this one.

I'm not sure if it screens after it premieres though. Edit: Wait. I guess these are the screening times/dates? 1/19/2014 9:30 pm Egyptian Theatre, Park City 1/21/2014 11:30 am Library Center Theatre, Park City 1/22/2014 9:00 pm Broadway Centre Cinema 6, Salt Lake City 1/24/2014 7:00 pm Redstone Cinema 2, Park City

Looks like there are good reviews of the film on twitter. It's too soon to say anything about it's reception at Sundance though.

Hey I just read that same review but it was more in depth. This paragraph is word for word in the one you posted but they added mention of Amy Lee and Dave Eggar and said their music is "trembling". This displacement of time, of self, of space and place is palpably felt thanks to Jackson's commitment to narrative ambiguity, which may belie some viewers, but remains true to the emotional and psychological landscapes we find ourselves traversing with Lee. Jackson steadily charts a path to breaking, framed by the melancholic winter-tinted lens of cinematographer Reed Morano, that is then tempo'd and tempered by Kate Abernathy's requiem-etched montage, and laced by the trembling music of Dave Eggar and Amy Lee. What we are witness to here is a nightmare illustrated in opaque tones. Realism inverted to abstraction. A place somewhere between self and death and life. A study on marginalization and discrimination without rhetoric. twitchfilm.com/2014/01/sundance-2014-review-war-story-a-devestating-study-of-conflict-from-within.html

Hmmmm. Looks like this film is not getting any real traction at Sundance. I don't see any of the major websites pegging it as a must see film, despite some fantastatic reviews. Hopefully things will change once more people see it. I guess the cast or director may not be appealing to people, but from all accounts it seems like a really well made film. Hope I am dead wrong about it's prospect.
EDIT: Also it is interesting that every review singles out both the music and the cinematography for conveying the protaganists state of mind, instead of, as Amy pointed out, using dialog. I think it's awesome that her first brush with scoring was something so challenging.

I don't think it has much to do with the actors and director (Catherine Keener is an Oscar nominee and have been on acclaimed films, while Mark is revered for his debut film), rather it's a low budget independent film, so it's hardly a Sundance attraction. The big media will mostly focus their attention on films that are more "Hollywood friendly," and there are hordes of them.

The big media will mostly focus their attention on films that are more "Hollywood friendly," and there are hordes of them. Well Sundance is all about low budget independent films. But the fact is, the movie had hardly any buzz before it's release ( atleast in the cinephile circles I am familiar with online) and while I like Catherine Keener, she is mostly known for her supporting work in films (I'm sure if the the lead was a Jessica Chastain or Amy Adams, the film would've gotten Oscar buzz for their performances at least - which is a shame considering Catherine Keener is phenomenally talented). Also the film's subject matter is bleak and it not narrative driven so I don't see it getting much love from the general audiences either. Ugh, I think I'm getting people's hopes down, but I'm positive we'll get to see this film soon (at least in VOD if not a theatrical release). But I would love it if the film was more widely seen and Amy's work was more recognized. I just realized today there are female music composers are EXTREMELY rare in the film industry, which makes me even more proud of Amy for finally landing a scoring gig.
