‘The Accompanist’ Review: Susan Sarandon and Aubrey Plaza in Zach Woods’ Sharply Acted but Overly Precious Feature Debut
bit.ly
There’s a high level of difficulty in what Susan Sarandon pulls off with apparent ease in The Accompanist. As Sylvia, the foster parent of a young girl, she plays a character who is a little wacky and indulgent, kind and at times wise but with emotional baggage of her own. And Sarandon turns what might have been a blueprint for sentimentality and clichés into a believable, idiosyncratic, very present individual.
