Anaita Wali Zada and Jeremy Allen White in Fremont (2023). Dir. Babak Jalali

[moments-on-film]

The first images and trailer have finally been released for Fremont, staring Anaita Wali Zada and featuring Jeremy Allen White. I was fortunate enough to see Fremont in January at the Sundance Film Festival and can personally attest that it’s a very sweet and poignant film.

Anaita Wali Zada and Jeremy Allen White are great together and both made me cry with the depth of their performances, and their portrayal of aching loneliness. The story is unique, and those of you who are looking to see more of the softer, gentler side of Mr. White, on film, and in glorious black and white, are in for a treat.

Donya works for a Chinese fortune cookie factory. Formerly a translator for the U.S. military, she struggles to put her life back in order. In a moment of sudden revelation, she decides to send out a special message in a cookie.

Very likable, quiet, low-key story-telling with some laconic, deadpan humour.

The movie doesn't constantly draw attention to it, but you're aware of the seriousness of Donya's situation.

Its setting and main character feels unique. But I'll mention that the movie reminded me of films from Aki Kaurismäki and Jim Jarmusch.

I wanted to slap the psychiatrist. Not all of the time. But in a number of scenes.

I guess nobody is talking about this movie. This review seems to only praise JAW but the IMDB and rotten Tomatoes reviews are excellent. If it shows in NYC I’ll see it. 

Edit: I searched deeper and see way better reviews in other articles. I love Jeremy and am sure he killed up but am kind of side-eyeing this review for only praising the IT white actor in a labor of love work from people of color. I dunno, just my take. Maybe I’m moody today.
