‘RACHEL HENDRIX’ REVIEW

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER FULL RACHEL HENDRIX REVIEW

Director Victor Nuñez Makes Welcome Return With Poignant Drama ‘Rachel Hendrix’ starring Lori Singer. Lori Singer plays a novelist and professor still reeling from her husband’s sudden death in this Florida-set character piece from the director of ‘Ruby in Paradise’ and ‘Ulee’s Gold.’

Nuñez has not directed a film in over a decade. He returns to the screen with Rachel Hendrix and helps to revitalize the acting career of Lori Singer, still best known for her starring role opposite Kevin Bacon in 1984’s Footloose. Singer, also an accomplished classical musician, had a few other notable acting credits, in Alan Rudolph’s Trouble in Mind and Robert Altman’s Short Cuts, but she has been absent from the screen for a long time. Singer and Nuñez team up rewardingly in an affecting if imperfect domestic drama, which received its world premiere at this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
