He proved this last year with Brink, and he’s done it again with Curfew. Yet his newer film is also a sign of artistic maturation, taking the wonderment of Brink and weaving it into a larger, more human story. He captures both the constant, manic frenzy of New York City and the profound loneliness it can cause. At heart, Curfew is about surviving through others, how simply being needed by a sister or a niece can be the difference between life and death. Graceful, bold and darkly stylish, Christensen is someone to watch.
