FOURTEEN

Dan Sallitt United States, 2019
Medel and Kuhling render these characters into an incredible odd couple from the start, yet their hot/cold friendship, with its clashing senses of care and duty, couldn’t be more believable.

The rare movie that intelligently and compassionately honors the push-pull dynamic between two young women.

It’s the film’s brutal honesty that makes it so heart-wrenchingly vivid, a fine-grained ode to friendship that ends on an affecting note.

The New York Times
This story of intimate friendship was written and directed with a subtle touch by Dan Sallitt. He eschews close-ups, preferring to observe how his characters fit within their environment. Denying the satisfaction of grand expressions or gestures, Sallitt instead uses time to show the changes in Jo and Mara’s relationship.
May 14, 2020
It’s one of the rare movies in which alertness and creation converge—in which the complex emotional flow of daily life is teased out of its hiding place within ordinary and familiar social codes. Without any religious sentiment or spiritual haze, Sallitt converts his deceptively calm melodrama into an exaltation, and he builds an intricate array of textures and tones into a volcano of passion.
May 14, 2020
What Sallitt cultivates through his unannounced and often startling leaps in chronology is a feeling of implicit tension, a growing fissure in Mara and Jo’s chemistry that bears itself out in pauses in conversation and in their interactions with a rotating gallery of supporting characters.
May 11, 2020
It’s a testament to Sallitt’s keen but unobtrusive skill as a dramatist that these more heightened beats are made to serve the film’s overall subdued tone, rather than the prevailing calm setting up the moments of storm.

Sallitt paints a subtly shaded portrait of a pair of women in their early thirties living in Fort Greene.
March 28, 2019
Sallitt paints an clear-eyed portrait of flawed, recognizable people, devoid of untoward drama but pitched at a level of such honesty as to unsettle with its emotional acuity.
