The Fair (1999)
A true Indie GEM!
Sarah McAnally's THE FAIR is a true indie gem and a pleasant alternative to all of the loud excessive summer fare crowding the multiplex. The film is a sweet story about the unlikely relationship between a young woman out in the world pursuing her dream of music and her elderly male roommate. The film's plot and characters reminded me of Coyote Ugly crossed with Harold And Maude. The story and direction are expertly handled on par with a much larger-scale studio film. The performances by Brigid Brannaugh and Neil Vipond are winning and made me want to google some of their other work as they aren't household names (yet!). Just learned that Ms. Brannagh was a co-star on Lifetime's Army Wives. In all, a great indie film full of laughter, music, drama, and a lot of heart! Highly recommended!
