The films that are so bad they’re good are the epitome in ironic movie-watching: intentionally watching terrible films in order to laugh at their technical failures, providing more humour than most comedies nowadays.
As we always do at the start of each month, we look back on the great articles we published the month before. In November we published over 70 interesting, in-depth features, reviews and a bunch of interviews. Here are our favourites!
With Allied, yet another volume has been added to the overflowing pile of wartime films. Though with the talented Robert Zemeckis at the helm, it seldom showcases his trademark focused and proficient direction, which is therefore not enough to raise the film above its many aching flaws.
Silence is Martin Scorsese’s upcoming religious drama set in the 17th century, in which two Jesuit priests (Andrew Garfield & Adam Driver) travel to Japan to find their lost mentor (Liam Neeson).
For her talent and contribution to film alone, Crawford deserves a better legacy than what she ultimately received. By all accounts, she achieved her success through hard work, determination, and innate intelligence.
Cinefemme gathered another group of inspiring female filmmakers, writers and content creators for the third iteration of Dinner With Dames, to dine with Elvia Van Es, Vice President of Development for TLC.
Fantastic Beasts is a mostly satisfactory return to the world of Harry Potter, though it also suffers from confused and muddled plot-lines.

In Our “Nominated Film You May Have Missed”, we reflect on films that received Oscar nominations in the past, but have been forgotten, or little seen. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a classic, delving into themes of patriotism, government corruption, and the power of democracy.
Graduation, Mungiu’s fourth film as director, is yet another example of how he masterfully weaves an intimate character drama into an intelligent commentary on injustices in Romanian society.
Frank & Lola is the upcoming feature debut of Matthew Ross, starring Michael Shannon & Imogen Poots in a “psychosexual noir love story”.
Recall the last villainess you saw on screen. Did her power come at the price of her own womanhood? Was she an unpleasant outcast in a world brimmed with nice, agreeable women? I’d bet your answer to either of these questions might be yes.
Moonfaze Feminist Film Festival takes place on December 1 in LA . We caught up with Premstar Santana, founder and director of the festival.
