The Dig (2021) – Movie Review

A surprisingly effective emotional backbone elevates The Dig above the academic retelling of its real-life story.

A very straight-up theater adaptation, but with top-notch directing, writing and acting.

The first half suggested a better paced and more interesting film, but the rest weighs it down too much. Wonderful title, though.

The story of a Japanese journalist in Uzbekistan, this movie is not perfect, but it’s doing something different.

Sylvie’s Love is a beautiful love story, and while it may not break any molds, sometimes it’s worth it just to see skilled storytellers at work.

Mixing several genres, White Lie works best as a duel between a young woman and a lie she can no longer control.

Made with largely improvised dialogue, this film could have been gimmicky, but turns out to be a subdued drama about broken friendships.

Gripping from beginning to end, a powerful and emotional exploration of the loss of hearing.

David Fincher’s latest is a technically superb, emotionally cold deep dive into the weeds of Hollywood history.

A bitter -but no less astute- observation of a family in crisis.
