Double World starts out rough, but ends up being an inoffensive fantasy blockbuster with a high production value.
Nomadland (2021) – Movie Review
A movie full of love and wonder, an appeal to kindness as a response to heartache, masterful work by Chloe Zhao and Frances McDormand.
The Father (2021) – Movie Review
There is no escaping that this film is difficult to watch, but the writing, the editing and the performances are truly nothing short of stunning.
Promising Young Woman (2021) – Movie Review
An emotional rollercoaster of a movie, a cinematic gut punch, a movie that’s angry and dark and also funny. I can’t stop thinking about it.
Yes Day (2021) – Movie Review
A family romp with charm and fun to spare, Yes Day is very child-friendly without being dumb about it.
Minari (2021) – Movie Review
A tale of a family trying to find a home; a great film made of many small moments of love and heartbreak.
Peninsula (2020) – Movie Review
A string of cliched action scenes, devoid of any substance, that depends on characters making the very worst possible choices at any time.
I Care A Lot (2021) – Movie Review
A biting satire thriller that unleashes Rosamund Pike at her most sociopathic.
News of the World (2021) – Movie Review
It is not quite the archetypical western, but one that uses the trappings of the genre to tell a story of found families.
