Honey Boy (2019) – Movie Review

An uncomfortable exposé, written by Shia LaBeouf, about his own absue and resulting trauma.

Driven by a career-best performance from Hugh Jackman, Bad Education is delightful and quick-witted.

The story of a man who learns that to tame a horse, the first thing you have to control is yourself.

Bull takes a slice-of-life, almost documentary-like approach to its characters and their hardships, which works for and against the story.

Eliza Hittman brings sympathy and tragedy into an otherwise harsh, matter-of-fact breakdown of the difficulties women face when seeking abortion.

What a joy to find movies such as this, a work of raw emotion and stunning beauty. You owe it to yourself to see And Then We Danced.

The Lost City of Z feels unmoored in time, looking inward more than outward, but lacks the energy to properly follow through.

Within the strict boundaries of a years-long captivity, The Endless Trench succeeds in telling a story of isolation, family and hope.

This is a complex, untidy story that trusts us to observe and make up our own minds, and won’t condescend to offer easy solutions to life’s problems.

Shadow is not terrible, but when a director of Zhang Yimou’s stature makes a boring movie, it still feels like a misfire.
