I've gotten away from indie movies recently, because some of the big blockbusters have caught my eye more. "Sticky Notes" (AKA "The Backup Dancer" in other regions) is a great film on a budget; and attracts both up-and-coming talent and proven actors. It reminds me, actually, why I like the indie genre so much. Rose Leslie is stunningly gorgeous, and not even a bad dancer, as a sulky 20-something who is called back home when her dad needs her. Ray Liotta plays her funky, good-cop dad with lots of snark.
Anyway, the cast is small, the budget is small...but this movie has heart without getting too sappy. It meanders in places, but it's a slice-of-life film...and 2015/2016 was right when subgenre was taking off, so this one flies under the radar.
Don't miss it.
