Sunshine State

Filmmaker John Sayles (Lone Star, Limbo) – who finds movies in towns where the rest of us find a place to fill up on gas – depicts a coastal Florida community weathering a storm of real estate development. The standout of the ensemble cast is
Edie Falco of “The Sopranos,” a constant surprise as a motel-owner struggling with a ravenous developer’s offer to buy her property.
