Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Local filmmaker Jyll Johnstone of Tiburon released a new movie, "Hats Off: 90 is the New 40"! A documentary, the film captivates the audience by profiling Mimi Weddell, a 93-year-old actor who was named (at age 90) one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in New York" by New York Magazine.What do the critics say?
The Los Angeles Times
"If you're not tickled and stirred by the sight of her 95-pound frame kicking off sheets and leaping out of bed to answer a phone -- a gig, maybe! -- then shame on you."
The New York Post
"Jyll Johnstone's irresistible Hats Off documents Mimi Weddell, a Manhattanite who, at 93, has pretty much cornered the market playing elegant, very old ladies in movies, TV, commercials and print ads."
Variety
"Despite intimate, prolonged access to her subject, director Jyll Johnstone seems to have missed the most interesting wrinkles of Weddell's story in favor of fuzzy life's-a-stage affirmations.
