Josephine in the Press
THE NEW YORKER
Decker throws herself into the urgency, the infinite promise, and the danger of the cinema—and she seems to live, and to thrive, on the edge of that danger.
VARIETY
U.S. indie actor-director Josephine Decker has two hotly anticipated films screening in the Berlinale’s Forum section. Her directorial debut, “Butter on the Latch,” is a sinister folktale set in the Californian forest of Mendocino. Sophomore feature “Thou Wast Mild and Lovely,” which is world premiering in Berlin and is being sold by New Europe, is a sensual thriller inspired by “East of Eden,” set on a farm in Kentucky.
