Tracktown (2016)

Tracktown: Directed by Alexi Pappas, Jeremy Teicher. With Alexi Pappas, Chase Offerle, Rachel Dratch, Andy Buckley. A young, talented, and lonely long-distance runner twists her ankle as she prepares for the Olympic Trials and must do something she’s never done before: take a day off.

“This movie is about a long distance runner who takes a day off from her regular practice schedule due to strain. Movieu0026#39;s every scene is based on her interactions with other people/things. All other characters are one dimensional. I feel that even her character is not well developed. It seems like she has been practicing very rigorously and alone, which made her emotionally stunted. She is not able to react to social situations normally. Her communication skills are very poor to the level that it feels unrealistic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe usage of quotes throughout the movie is a fresh idea, but it is more suited for a high adrenaline movie. Also, the vocalization of quotes is not fluent. The camera work is sloppy which makes scenes slogy. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are looking for a running movie, this is not the choice. But if you want an indie with a piece of life of a runner, then you can go for it.”
