Katherine Diekmanns emotionally gripping drama sees Hunter play a no-nonsense mother looking for answers after the death of her son
Holly Hunter in a cowboy hat and tank top shopping for groceries in a Georgia college town wasn’t something I knew I needed to see until I saw it. Katherine Diekmanns Strange Weather is a fairly simple melodrama,and one that could exercise a few reminders that it is better to display not advise. But as a showcase it’s a role that would fuel actors’ dreams. It’s the type of rich, nuanced, or regional American indie that flourished in the 1990s (does anyone remember Peter Fonda in Ulee’s Gold?),and while some may consider it a dinky out of date, I prefer to take the more optimistic view and say its the continuation of a classic style.
