Movie #1707 “Hudson” —- this one was the one we saw that just won the audience awards for the festival, and I enjoyed it. A term I would use to describe it is quirky, and very much an independent film in spirit and pacing. There isn't much to the story, and if you expect huge changes in the flawed characters, you won't be seeing that either, but I found it a fun watch, mostly because I enjoyed the characters. Hudson is the cousin who just lost his mom and wants to bring her ashes to a special tree that he and his cousin (the other lead guy, who is an actor) used to play on. In the Q and A , the director said they didn't work from much of a script, and you can tell a lot of this is improvised. Once in a while it turns out charming like this one....but it is very rare. And this is a rare film. Hope people get to see this, if they are searching for a quirky, light comedy with some poignant moments. Ii gave it 4 stars out of 4.
