Film festivals — especially ones as sprawling as the Tribeca Festival — offer an abundance of delights. But at heart, they exist in large part so we can discover movies like the ones Morrisa Maltz makes.
In 2022, she premiered a quiet road trip tale called “The Unknown Country” at South by Southwest. That film helped introduce its gifted star, Lily Gladstone, to a much wider audience. Hopefully, “Jazzy” will do the same for Maltz herself.
A gorgeous meditation on girlhood, “Jazzy” picks up where “The Unknown Country” left off, to focus on the child who bonded with Gladstone’s character as she explored her Oglala Lakota heritage.
