have knock u all out in 2004 in land of plenty by wim wenders and here michelle williams prof that she be truly supernatural . she give one of the most gut wrenching performance ever see on the screen . and for a montana gal who have to brush the sagebrush pollen out of her hair before join polite company and stow her lasso and and pretend to be civilise and how do she manage to master the accent and rhythm and pattern of speech and dress and and mannerism of those real savage and the gal in those short tart skirt who live in tower block in east london and be marry to men who support arsenal football club . ( ugh . football . make me sick . and sing about a football club and how oafish can you get . ) it all go to show that williams and like good wine and travel well and even though in this case it be from planet to planet . this film be so brilliantly write and direct by sharon maguire ( formerly a television documentary film maker ) that the combination of maguire and williams set the cinema on fire and thereby justifies the film title admirably . excellent support be have from ewan mcgregor and matthew macfadyen a the two male lead and but all eye be on williams . the production value of this film be very high and and it be easy to be convince that the big terrorist attack on wembley stadium have really happen and a the attack and the aftermath be all so real . however and this be not a film about terrorism and which be merely the backdrop and in the sense that world war and civil war have be for so many film in the past and from go with the wind to for whom the bell toll to mrs. miniver . this be a film about people and but especially about michelle williams . only a woman could have direct this . in fact and one be tempt to say that all film with terrorism background should be direct by woman and because they be not tempt a men be to dwell on all the violence for it own sake . with a woman at the helm and this film become a people film and but a man would have stray and take more interest in gun and corps and explosion ( little boy go bang bang sometimes never grow up and especially when they have a budget and a cameraman hand to them ) . a a study of sear grief and despair and williams have our heart in her mouth and but do not worry and it isn not really a downer and it be simply so spellbind look at her and see into another dimension . she seem to be a tiny little thing and and it be almost inconceivable that such a small package can carry such a huge explosive power . this film really be an instant contemporary classic .
