Slipstream

Over four rain-soaked weeks, five downtrodden Los Angelenos, each grappling with a life-altering crisis, intersect each other’s lives amid the empty bustle of LAX.

Body Count
One.

Movie Pitch
It’s like Crash, but about classism and airports!

Bottom Line
Larson’s debut occasionally trips through some awkward plotting in reaching its nervy (if slightly undercooked) climax, but her exquisitely calibrated prose makes clear she knows these people to their bones.
