GOLDEN EXITS

“Love, jealousy, deficiency… no destination, and no hope for a clean getaway.”— Sam (Lily Rabe), on family life, in GOLDEN EXITS

The “golden exits” in Alex Ross Perry’s remarkable new film are the hoped-for high notes of departure members of a middle-class, middle-aged Brooklyn circle never quite manage to make. It would be nice to walk off into a golden hour sunset, but this group—the archivist Nick (Adam Horovitz), his wife Alyssa (Chloë Sevigny), his assistant Naomi (Emily Browning), among others—is stuck in perpetual, fascinating orbit around the townhouses, bars, pizzerias, and document-filled basements of Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens.

Mary-Louise Parker—as Alyssa’s sister Gwen—plays her usual monster of quiet aggressions, and nobody does it better.

 

GOLDEN EXITS, through Thursday, February 22.

MONICA FILM CENTER, 1332 Second Street, Santa Monica.
