TIFF 2011 Buyer’s Club: #19. Geoffrey Fletcher’s Violet & Daisy
Last time Saoirse Ronan portrayed a cold blooded killer it gave us Hanna – it revitalized the subgenre of a teenage assassin. I’m not expecting a Thelma & Louise or NBK remake here and I’m generally weary of newbie screenwriters who try their hand at working behind the lenses — but if this is cold, graphic and violent enough, then we might just have an indie side-dish worth checking out. The two girls and a gun should field plenty of offers.
