SHARP OBJECTS AMY ADAMS LISTENING TO MUSIC MEME SERIAL
She plays a reporter named Camille who is dispatched to make a reluctant return to her small Missouri town to investigate what may be the work of a serial killer preying on teen girls. In the movies, Amy Adams has played everything from a Disney princess come to life in "Enchanted" to an untrustworthy femme fatale in "American Hustle." But in "Sharp Objects," she plays something new - startlingly new. The eight-part "Sharp Objects" is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée who also directed "Big Little Lies." And the star, playing the best role of her already impressive and varied career, is Amy Adams.
Last year on the HBO miniseries "Big Little Lies," we saw a murder mystery untangle very slowly as we spent time getting to know the private - sometimes sordid - lives of some seemingly happy suburban women. Already this TV season, we've seen another familiar genre - the spy story - flipped and re-energized in BBC America's "Killing Eve" by having women playing both the hunter and the hunted. It's classic, modern-day film noir until it isn't.įor one thing - and this is central and crucial - the protagonist in "Sharp Objects" is a woman, not a man. Behind every door and every cryptic conversation are dark secrets, but our hard-boiled, hard-drinking hero is persistent even when old memories and new conflicts bubble to the surface. In this case, a newspaper reporter - returns to his old hometown to investigate. The story's hero - sometimes a cop or private eye. The basic framework of Gillian Flynn's "Sharp Objects" would seem to be leading us down a very familiar path. Out of that common mystery story framework, though, comes a very uncommon and disturbing and memorable character study. This Sunday, HBO begins an eight-part miniseries called "Sharp Objects" based on the novel by Gillian Flynn, author of "Gone Girl." It stars Amy Adams as a troubled newspaper reporter who returns to her small hometown to investigate the disappearances of some teen girls.
