The Vast of Night (2020) – Movie Review

An intriguing experiment, elevated by clever direction and impressive long takes.

Shirley is an odd film, a study of repressed resentment more than a biopic, and it is all the more compelling because of it.

A high-concept horror that, while not entirely successful, is remarkable for sticking to its concept to the bitter end.

An odd, quiet film that is content existing in a feeling, in a moment, centered on a great performance by Kristen Stewart.

All Day and a Night is less than the sum of its parts, a collection of tropes held together by clichés.

There’s material here for good horror, but it lost me along the way.

Three independent stories, told with a style so sober that it sometimes feels cold.

A fantastic portrayal of an all-too-real teenage girl, as sharp as it is endearing.

A cheeky, unabashed sex comedy whose message of inclusiveness is undermined by its decision to cast only able-bodied leads in disabled roles.

Transit builds a tense fraught atmosphere, although it feels like a halfway adaptation, trying to modernize its story without committing to it.
