Towelhead

Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) makes his feature directorial debut with this adaptation of Alicia Erian's 2005 novel about a young girl bounced between her American mother (Maria Bello) and Lebanese father (Peter Macdissi). Set against the backdrop of the first Gulf War, Towelhead is an affecting, darkly comic portrait of racial and sexual alienation lurking beneath the wholesome façade of suburban America. Director Alan Ball scheduled to attend both screenings

    “Ridiculous storyline, one-dimensional characters, makes you feel like you need a shower.”
