“SHAKEDOWN—makes space for itself.”
“WEINRAUB AND COMPOSER TIM DEWIT TAP INTO A RUMINATIVE EROS WITH AN ELECTRONIC SCORE REMINISCENT OF VANGELIS AND BLADE RUNNER”
“It has this style—audio-visually, the graphic design of it—that is really, to me, what the audio-visual modality of Black cinema is at present, even though it took a decade to make. Even though it’s not born of the moment, it is the omnipresent present, in a way.”
“UNPARALLELED, EXPERIMENTAL EXPRESSION FROMA A FILMMAKER WHO’S JUST GETTING STARTED”
“SOMETIMES YOU’LL GET THE CHANCE TO SEE A FILM THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING. THAT TO ME IS SHAKEDOWN”
