TheSweetEast Review: Williams’ Feature Debut Is Tolerable But Inconsistent [Cannes]
Sean Price Williams, American cinematographer known for his usage of grain and natural/available lighting in his films, has turned to directing after over 50 indie feature films as a director of photography. Williams premiered his feature debut, The Sweet East, at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, which sees a high school girl traverse the east coast of the United States in an attempt to escape her mundane life.
As the film progresses, our main character finds herself encountering peculiar humans to the point at which she finds comfort in adopting new personalities to get by. Meeting Lawrence , for example, at a Nazi rally then opting to stay with him because she has no alternatives is just one of the long list of bad decisions the naive and impulsive Lillian makes.
This is where the film falters. There’s no true discussion or lessons learned for Lillian. Despite all her experiences, she seems to escape every situation unscathed and unaffected, which makes the feature a bit empty. If anything, The Sweet East acts as a mostly funny satire that provides decent enough entertainment at the expense of important commentary. But if there’s something to take away from it, it’s that Talia Ryder is a true star.
