Three independent stories, told with a style so sober that it sometimes feels cold.
Category: Drama
Transit (2019) – Movie Review
Transit builds a tense fraught atmosphere, although it feels like a halfway adaptation, trying to modernize its story without committing to it.
Monos (2020) – Movie Review
Monos is a visually arresting, if nihilistic, vision of humanity untethered.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) – Movie Review
Marielle Heller’s ode to kindness, a touching tribute to our better nature.
The Assistant (2020) – Movie Review
The Assistant is a quiet, discreet film that speaks heavy truths not with bold exclamations but with clear-eyed serenity. It is worth listening to, and pondering the things we take for granted even in our daily work.
Honey Boy (2019) – Movie Review
An uncomfortable exposé, written by Shia LaBeouf, about his own absue and resulting trauma.
Bad Education (2020) – Movie Review
Driven by a career-best performance from Hugh Jackman, Bad Education is delightful and quick-witted.
The Mustang (2019) – Movie Review
The story of a man who learns that to tame a horse, the first thing you have to control is yourself.
Bull (2019) – Movie Review
Bull takes a slice-of-life, almost documentary-like approach to its characters and their hardships, which works for and against the story.
Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) – Movie Review
Eliza Hittman brings sympathy and tragedy into an otherwise harsh, matter-of-fact breakdown of the difficulties women face when seeking abortion.
