The Sweet East
18

Why watch?

With periods of humour and ethereal beauty interspersed with cutting language and social taboos, The Sweet East is an exciting and assured debut from a new filmmaker with a distinct voice and a mobile phone full of all the hottest names in young Hollywood. If you liked recent films like Bottoms, Saltburn, Rotting in the Sun, this is one for you to check out.

Wendy Cooke,

Head of Cinema
A picaresque journey undertaken by a young woman granted access to the strange sects and cults of contemporary America by a series of gatekeepers eager to win her over. 
Drama

The Sweet East marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Sean Price Williams, who has previously worked with some of the key names of the contemporay indie film scene including Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell, Queen of Earth) and the Safdie Brothers (Good Time).

The result is a visually stunning road movie following bored Lillian (a mesmerising Talia Ryder who previously starred in Never Rarely Sometimes Always) as she chaotically trips her way from one extreme situation to the next. slipping casually from Neo-nazi's to film students without missing a breath, The Sweet East has hints of Alice in Wonderland mixed with Vera Chytilová's Daisies.
