Quieter than Tarantino, more charming than Aronofsky

In the penultimate installment of our Hidden Gems mini-series, Lee offers up 2011’s Violet and Daisy for our consideration. A small-budget film with an even smaller box office take, it features Saoirse Ronan, and Alexis Bledel as a pair of teenage assassins trying to make enough money for rent and cool dresses, and James Gandolfini as their target, who proves harder to kill than expected, but not for the reasons you might think. The film is the only directorial credit of Geoffrey Fletcher, more widely known as the Academy Award-winning screenplay writer for Precious. Come along this journey of discovery with us as Lee introduces us to this hidden gem.
