Zoe Kazan won the best actress award at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival for her performance in Bradley Rust Grey’s melancholy film The Exploding Girl. Almost a year after its debut, the film is opening in limited release in New York this Friday.
To appreciate this slow and gentle film, you’re going to have to love looking at rising star Zoe Kazan. You have to let yourself get swept away by repeated quiet moments, extreme close ups of Zoe riding the subway, or sitting on a bed staring into space, lying in the bath, or cradling a new born baby.
