Director Jake Scott (son of Ridley & nephew of Tony) takes us into the dreary world of a post-Katrina New Orleans in Welcome To The Rileys.
In this quiet character driven drama a broken father attempts to heal the wounds left by his daughter's death by fathering a troubled teenage prostitute. I don't think this would ever happen in real life without violence or hostility but it's an interesting premise none the less. The subtly slow character reveals and wonderful performances from all three leads help the viewer the believe in the situation.
