Film Reviews
Though with the talented Halle Berry at the helm, Kidnap is a poorly made action thriller that is lacking in story, acting, and execution.
Alex Lines reports from the Melbourne International Film Festival and reviews Call Me By Your Name, Wonderstruck, Marlina The Murderer and more!
The Void can’t make its ideas fully blossom. Regardless, it always feels good to see filmmakers succeed in creating the work they wanted.
Gook is an irresistible film that manages to breathe new life into a narrative set within the confines of this particular historical setting.
Talya Lavie’s Zero Motivation is simultaneously funny, serious, sentimental, sarcastic, slapstick, and totally unique.
In the Shadow of Women is alluring in its presentation, but ultimately doesn’t have much to say about infidelity and relationships.
Gerard Butler’s attempts to shake off his action hero image in A Family Man are commendable, but he is miscast in this saccharine drama.
After Love thrusts you into the middle of a domestic war zone. Thanks to the claustrophobia and heightened tension, there are very few moments in the film that aren’t fraught with emotion; whether it be fury, devastation, or even, on occasion, love (or at least what’s left of it).
Brave New Jersey is a fictional yet charming look at the aftereffects of Orson Welles’ famous War of the Worlds broadcast on a small town.
Atomic Blonde may be sloppy in structure, but it is oozing with immaculately executed action and a finely tuned performance by Theron.
What makes Third Star special is its no-holds-barred approach to terminal illness, coupled with its magnificent cast and script.
Landline’s Gillian Robespierre & Jenny Slate understand that female characters can do unlikable things while still earning our empathy.
Kuso, though visually interesting at times, is ultimately too disgusting to recommend, and seemingly has no purpose behind it.
Although not a life changing film, let alone a particularly memorable one, Fun Mom Dinner has enough charm to keep you entertained.
Kaurismaki’s latest, The Other Side Of Hope, an intriguing take on the immigration crisis, keeps its important subject at arm’s length.
