Keane

Keane, directed by Lodge Kerrigan, is a drama about William Keane (Damian Lewis), a mentally unraveling man searching for his missing daughter Sophia, shot in New York on a budget of $850,000 over 32 days. The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on September 3, 2004, and won the Special Jury Prize and Critics' Prize at the 2005 Deauville American Film Festival. The film holds an 82 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and 79 on Metacritic. The 2006 DVD release includes, as a bonus, an alternate cut prepared by Steven Soderbergh, 15 minutes shorter than the original. Who it's for: anyone curious about a drama where the search for a missing child intertwines with mental collapse, shot in long takes with minimal dialogue, for which Steven Soderbergh prepared his own alternate cut. Who it's not for: viewers looking for a resolution driven mystery with clear answers, since the film is built on ambiguity.
