STAKES IS HIGH – Jean-Pierre Caner (Los Angeles, California)Much like TAXI DRIVER was a reflection of post-Vietnam America, STAKES IS HIGH captures America right now. Will Goldin is the everyman of this moment, living off the fumes of a dream, turning to the gig economy with hopes of a better future only to find a rat race to the bottom – a story that has only become more and more relevant.&nbsp;Accordingly, STAKES IS HIGH is a ride. One scene leading to the next, the story building as Will tries to get ahead while risking it all. 2023; 90 min.
