It’s an unusual and daring film, not classified in a genre, which reminds of the “brush stroke” cinema of Gus Van Sant, where storytelling is left aside in favor of slices of life, slices of routine, which can seem lacking in content but are evocative, narrative in an emotional way for the soul, in a less ordinary and immediate meaning. Great direction, great cinematography, great faces on screen. Tim Sutton is already a shaped and brave author.

The strenght of a look that drenchs stuff with tenderness and charm, and that spreads a passion for this magic city.

“Ruin – Orizzonti”, Uzak, Gianfranco Costantiello (Full article):

Who surprises, approaching in the right way for example a certain suburban cinema like Kelly Reichardt’s one [...] is Tim Sutton, with his sophomore film Memphis. A cautious, exquisite and poetic film.
