With a memorable dual role from Seth Rogen, An American Pickle is intentionally illogical, tonally wacky, and surprisingly personal.
Combined with Cianfrance’s ‘addiction’ to this story and the intimacy of the acting, I Know This Much Is True creates a palatable amount of realism.
With more than enough to keep the story moving, Three Identical Strangers is a compelling documentary that keeps the tale moving quickly through twists and turns.
Handed down through folklore and myths, movies about doppelgängers present a lasting cinematic device through all kinds of uncanny scenarios.
Father Figures is a swing and a miss, lacking enough entertaining or cogent material to sell this half-hearted comedy.
Double Lover is a loving and surprisingly artful homage to the genre’s masters, equal parts a silly and stylish trashy erotic thriller with enough twists and turns to delight any mainstream audiences.
With sci-fi short Caleb, Amanda Mesaikos and Susanne Aichele have brought us a unique and interesting piece that keeps the viewer engaged.
From the minute of its inception I had high hopes for Legend. An earlier attempt at a biopic of the infamous Kray twins has largely been forgotten, starring as it did the brothers from Spandau Ballet.

Low budget productions always have to come to terms to the fact they are not going to be able to offer proper cinematic spectacle on a minuscule budget. A Dozen Summers instead opts to be as deliberately amateurish as possible, giving it the distinctive feeling of a movie that the twelve year old protagonists would not only wish to make, but would be capable of making. It feels aimless, rambling at even a brief 82 minutes (eight of which are dedicated to elongated end credits), but proves near impossible to dislike despite all of its clear faults.
