Hide Your Smiling Faces (2013) Review by Clayton Davis (Claytondavis@awardscircuit.com) from New Jersey
No film at the Tribeca Film Festival or any film in recent memory hascaptured the cultural and significant impacts of tragedy in the mindsof adolescence than Daniel Patrick Carbone's Hide Your Smiling Faces.Engagingly suspenseful, this tale about two brothers, after a tragedyoccurs in their rural town, must confront their own demons that includerelationships, nature, and morality. Tommy (Ryan Jones) and Eric(Nathan Varnson) are confronted with morally conflicting views of lifeand as the two try to siphon their own processes surrounding theirtragedy, an underlining beauty exists that I'm not sure I fullyunderstand after the film. Hide Your Smiling Faces lays it on and laysit on hard as these two boys encounter several instances of adultsituations through the eyes of young children. Writer/director Carboneisn't troubled to ask the tough questions of youth and as the boysbattle through their layers of guilt, innocence, and even sexuality,Carbone explores the soul of youth and comes up with a phenomenalportrait that stands proudly next to classics like Stand by Me (1986).The dynamic Nathan Varnson and purely magical Ryan Jones are simplyperfection in their roles. Varnson, who is very reminiscent of HunterMcCracken's powerhouse turn in The Tree of Life (2011), is somberlybrilliant and he arranges emotion after emotion on top of his youthfulpersona. His execution is truly dazzling and it's a inspirationalperformance that stands as the stone pillar of the film. Ryan Jones isequally effective and mounts the single finest scene of any film seenthis year so far with absolute precision. Diverse and adaptable in anygiven scene, these two boys carry the entire framework of the film andare the most beloved trait for you to take home. Daniel Patrick Carboneis a jack of all trades who not only writes and directs the film withan infinite amount of passion but manages to edit the film to a subduedaura that is both pleasing and smooth. Not to mention his intention togive the audience several instances of apprehension that can give aperson with a pacemaker an early trip to the grave, Carbone places gunsin the hands of children, puts them near the ledges of a bridge, andeven puts them face to face with the dangers of nature. While suicideeven plays a prominent theme, Carbone's subtle approaches to how onecan interpret the death of a loved one are astutely profound. It's damnnear perfection in every sense. His filmmaking style and imagery arevery Malick-esque and his deep-rooted appreciation for nature is, well,appreciated. What makes him a true professional is he doesn't just layit on us for the sake of art, he believes in the message that theMother Nature is trying to convey. Surveying the decomposition of ananimal becomes a stapled foundation for the child in all of us to standon. I found myself richly tearful, examining the mutation of emotionsas they manifest themselves into different behaviors. You can't askmore from a film. Not to mention, an eighty-minute endeavor such asthis. Hide Your Smiling Faces is a magnificent portrait and Carbone'spaintbrush laid strokes of love, anger, confusion, and a rainbow ofemotions to indulge the audience. It's one of the most pleasantsurprises experienced at a festival thus far.
