Film Reviews
The Kindergarten Teacher is expertly magnetic as a vessel for a cringe-worthy effect of its own making, and with a strong central performance by Maggie Gyllenhaal as well.
Better Start Running feels like a cliched indie – fitted head to toe with an ever-present oddball ensemble cast – taking to the road for an adventure.
For this latest report from Film Fest 919, we into Robert Redford’s final film, the documentary about Orson Welles, and a Hillary Swank-starring drama.
The Venture Bros. episode 10 was an excellent episode that managed to wrap up a few seasons of plot while also opening up the future for Hank and the Monarch.
Killer Kate! is silly and toneless – although flawed, it may be the calling card for debut filmmaker Elliot Feld for more suitable projects to come.
As glossy, glamorous and fast-paced as the auctions it focuses on, The Price of Everything is a fun look inside an elite world that few of us could ever imagine entering.

Caniba is a disturbing film about human loneliness that feels rare in documentary’s contemporary canon.
When the USA is safely within the next Democratic term of office, expect The Front Runner to be looked back upon more fondly; it’s mightily enjoyable political entertainment.
As a work of storytelling, Guadagnino’s reimagining of the canonical giallo is a boring mess with higher thematic aspirations than it’s able to realise.
Two reviews of films from the Lavazza Italian Film Festival, Loro by Paolo Sorrentino and Boys Cry, a gangster film from the D’Innocenzo Brothers.

How To Get Away With Murder’s case-of-the-week format will work for some but those welcoming of the more complex journey of yester-series will find the current set-up lacklustre at best.
An incredibly funny film, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn is a wonderful example of a film that is able to be surreal, comic, and emotional – even if the ending is really very, very bad.
