Silver Star
When an ex-con’s bank robbery attempt goes south, she ends up forming an unexpected relationship with the young woman she takes hostage in this moving odd couple road trip dramedy.
Debut directors Ruben Amar and Lola Bessis invite us to hop into the car for an emotional and frequently funny road trip. Billie (Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson) is fresh out of jail and trying to help her estranged parents when she hatches a plot to rob a bank. After the hold-up goes south, she takes Franny (Grace Van Dien) hostage – little realising the feisty pregnant woman is not about to go quietly. Buttoned up Billie and exuberant firecracker Franny bond on the run and prove the most engaging road trip pairing since Thelma and Louise – buckle up for a heck of a ride.
