1109 Time

What does the weight of time's passage feel like for a family caught in the jaws of a brutal carceral system? Both a breathtaking cinematic love story and a bruising indictment of American injustice, the Academy Award–nominated feature documentary debut of Garrett Bradley traces the decades-long quest of Sibil Fox Richardson, an indefatigable mother of six and a fiercely outspoken prison abolitionist, to free her husband from the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where he is serving a sixty-year sentence for robbery. Gracefully interweaving twenty years' worth of Richardson's own intimate home movies with luminously expressive monochrome footage of her present-day joys and struggles, Bradley crafts in Time a transcendentally poetic, soul-shaking look at the devastating toll of mass incarceration and one family's extraordinary efforts to stay whole.

This is I believe the first film in the collection to feature an appearance from the Impractical Jokers.

This month's releases (with Dick Johnson Is Dead and a Thomas Vinterberg film) feel like an unofficial nod to David Ehrlich's Top 25 of 2020! I was particularly hoping for a chance to see Time.

I actually thought this was Kim Ki-duk's film at first
