2021 Sundance Film Festival Review – R#J Starring Camaron Engels, Francesca Noel, David Zayas, Diego Tinoco, Siddiq Saunderson, and Russell Hornsby. SYNOPSIS: A modern-day adaptation of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy “Romeo and Juliet.” A movie adaptation of The Bard’s most popular play for the Instagram set has the obvious potential to be completely insufferable, and yet, Carey Williams’ daring debut harnesses just enough beguiling skill and slipperiness to prove itself worthwhile. Perhaps every generation gets the Romeo and Juliet movie they deserve; Baz Luhrman’s 1996 take perfectly captured the edgy gloss of the MTV generation with its staccato editing and marrow-rich colours, while if nothing else, this new take for the social media generation captures modern youth in all of its openness, sensitivity, and yes, narcissism. ....

Premiere: Jan. 30th 7:00 p.m. There are a lot things that make me old, but a version of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that makes Baz Luhrmann ‘s psychedelic and visionary Romeo + Juliet feel like an old-school, traditionalist take on the material may take the proverbial cake, and while it’s not entirely successful as a film, director Carey Williams’ feature debut, R#J, does do that much. R#J tells the tale of a war brewing between rival houses, but captures it in a new and genuinely unique way. Montague and Capulet Gen-Zers are using their cell phones to document the eruptions of violence plaguing their communities. In the middle of it all, Romeo ( ....
