Autostraddle

Part neorealist drama, part multimedia fantasia, Haley Elizabeth Anderson’s striking debut is a character study cracked open by its protagonist’s curiosity.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

The impressionistic world Anderson creates, along with her DP Matthew Ballard and editor Stephania Dulowski, results in a film that asks the audience to rethink their own conceptions of temporality.

There have been hundreds of films about The City That Never Sleeps, but few are as unique, as freeform, and as completely alive in spirit as Tendaberry.
