There Is a New World Somewhere

Lu's breakout feature film is stunning, gorgeously shot, and extremely ambitious for an independent film. The film follows Sylvia on a road trip through the south with a charming, sexy, and slightly dangerous stranger she meets one night before the wedding of an old friend. The reveal at the end makes the movie that much more powerful. The acting is fantastic in the film and it is perfectly cast. The directing and editing really shape gorgeous moments between the two leads. I was taken aback by the locations of the movie and how well they are captured. As we take this journey with Sylvia, our choices for our future, like hers, become more and more apparent.
