Heavily crevassed and turbulent glacial ice and high winds on the plateau contributed to delays which made the record impossible.

The second attempt on the speed record did take place, starting on 12 August, and finished shy of the record in less than twelve days. On his website Hibbert announced plans to return in the summer. Despite the team being positioned on the Greenlandic coast on schedule, the planned attempt in April 2011 ended before it began, as low barometric pressure and low cloud cover in the Arctic kept them stranded in Tasiilaq, Greenland for more than a week. In order to break the record Hibbert stated that he and his teammate planned to ski in excess of 40 miles (64 kilometres) and up to 15 hours per day. The current Norwegian-held record stands at 8 days 9 hours. Alan’s Rating: 8/10 What do you think of Story Ave? Let us know in the comments below! Catch Story Ave at SXSW 2023.In January 2011, it was announced that Hibbert would attempt to break the speed record for crossing the Greenland icecap. However, it also signals the arrival or a promising star and a promising directorial voice. Story Ave still suffers from some of the pitfalls of coming-of-age stories, including a rather predictable narrative. Yet it’s Blackk’s performance that ultimately steals the film.
Torres delivers a film that pays homage to Spike Lee (an early double dolly shot immediately brings him to mind) and bears a stylistic similarity to Blindspotting and Fruitvale Station. As Story Ave develops, there’s plenty of good and bad in both men to navigate. Yet there’s a quiet edge of rage underlying the character. He finds ways for Kabir to establish himself a good man. Meanwhile, Guzman represents a quieter, more passive way out. With a simple look, we learn everything we need to know about the boisterous and frustrated man. He wants the young man to achieve what he could not, and knows that Kabir should not be in their world. Gregg brings a tremendous energy to his role as he pushes Kabir to fail.
Guzman and Gregg establish an ethical dichotomy for Blackk’s Kabir to navigate. It’s a genuinely moving performance and you will find yourself rooting for him at every turn. Blackk creates an air of hopelessness and reckless abandon that really brings his pain to the forefront. His coping might come through art, but it’s how he displays the dichotomy between the internal and external struggle that helps us feel his pain. This goes beyond trauma and into the struggle with genuine grief.īlackk brings this to the screen in a miraculous performance. Yet the film’s primary focus on Kadir’s mental health opens the door for other dialogue to occur. It certainly plays into the tropes of the wayward youth finding a way out of their circumstance. Torres approaches Story Ave with an eye on elevating it above traditional coming-of-age storytelling. Luis becomes a light in the darkness, attempting to help Kadir shift his perspective on life. When asked to complete his initiation, Kadir approaches an MTA employee Luis ( Luis Guzman). Hibbert) and his brother Skemes ( Melvin Gregg) offer an out through street art and gang activity.
When his mother goes catatonic, Kadir searches for family anywhere he can find it. With an incredibly emotional and layered performance, Blackk rises to the occasion and gives Story Ave a heartbeat rarely seen by young actors.Īfter waking up in the middle of the night, Kadir (Blackk) discovered his younger brother had died. Yet Story Ave, the debut feature of Aristotle Torres relies on his talent. Then, his guest starring role on This Is Us opened him up to a new audience. Blackk already earned acclaim for his performance in When They See Us about the Central Park 5. Yet Asante Blackk seems destined to break through the noise. Navigating the path of young stardom is difficult for the best of performers.
