Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Set against the peak of the 2008 financial crisis, Grassland is a memory of the toll that period took on people and is a crushing reminder of how little has changed. Directly in conversation with the criminal profiling that led and still leads to the mass incarceration of Black and Latinx individuals, the movie attempts to bring the audience into the discussion, and, for the most part, it succeeds.
However, this isn't 2024, and Grassland is aware that outside and in the bubbles of legality, people are wrongfully persecuted. The 3:4 aspect ratio is surprising at first, but based on the aesthetics and themes of the movie, it's clear the directors are intimately familiar with the work of Xavier Dolan. Fortunately, these stylistic choices don't take us out of the film, effectively serving to draw them in.
Grassland asks a lot of Cabot-Conyers and Sean Convery, who play Leo and Tom, respectively, and they, especially Cabot-Conyers, live up to the high bar the story sets. I found myself getting lost in the imaginary world they escaped into while playing, even if these respites were only brief breaks from the underlying anxiety of the film. Brandon , is a faithful playmate to Leo and a friend to Sofia, and I could have watched a movie solely focused on this character and Isaiah's performance.
