Film Reviews
Welcome back. Following the premiere’s cliffhanger, I went into this episode expecting to find out…
Strong acting, wonderful direction, and a mostly alluring script overcome a somewhat commonplace story (in this day and age) with familiar themes in Extinction.
Trial & Error: Lady, Killer continues to provide a smartly written story with comedic moments performed by a wonderfully talented ensemble.
Christopher Robin offers visual wonder, even if its storyline suggests you may have needed to experience adulthood to truly appreciate it.
Film Inquiry’s Alex Lines has left MIFF 2018 – his final report includes some of the best (and two of the worst) films he saw.
Despite its worn-out political commentary, The King is a quietly revolutionary music documentary.
Vincent Amouroux and Alex Barry’s Living Universe is an encouraging sign that science is progressing in ways which continue to benefit humanity as a whole.
A Second Chance manages to pose a shocking moral quandary without falling into an academic exercise by grounding its characters in real feelings.
Strike, Dear Mistress, and Cure His Heart is too reliant on its use of narration, but still manages to capture the horror of dysfunctional relationships.
The Package suffers from being a little too conventional for its own good – a generic teen rom-com with a dissected dick slapped on top.
In “Falling”, Sharp Objects becomes its strongest self, maintaining the fervent atmosphere, visual detail and world-class performances.
It might focus on a man with cancer, but Tucked remains resolutely upbeat in its belief that true happiness can only be found when we are true to ourselves.
Though Brij Mohan Amar Rahe may be funny and entertaining at points, it mostly comes across as unpleasant to watch and unintentionally muddled.
Seeing a successful bodybuilder physically breaking apart toes the line towards Ronnie Coleman: the King being a cautionary tale, but it’s ultimately saved by the view of his private life.
There’s plenty about Juliet, Naked that isn’t ideal, but it is cozy and predominantly feel-good.
