Cate Blanchett and Bradley Cooper in Nightmare Alley

Nightmare Alley (2021) – Movie Review

Half gothic horror, half swanky noir, Nightmare Alley is a lot of cinema. It is written to fit together like clockwork, designed and shot to look like the best classics.

Jude Hill and Jamie Dornan in Belfast

Belfast (2021) – Movie Review

All the accolades will make you think there must be something about Belfast. I suggest you look elsewhere.

Aditya Modak in The Disciple

The Disciple (2021) – Movie Review

It was hard for me to engage with the specific in The Disciple, but the general is filled with universal emotions.

Denzel Washington in The Tragedy of Macbeth

The Tragedy of Macbeth (2022) – Movie Review

The Tragedy of Macbeth is so much my jam that if I didn’t know better I’d think it was made just for me. This is an endorsement as much as it is a warning, because it could very well be that everything that I like about this project is what puts you off.

Anton Weil and Vasilis Magouliotis in The Man with the Answers

The Man with the Answers (2021) – Movie Review

A road movie that succeeds in building a compelling protagonist but falls short with his foil.

Kai Luke Brummer in Moffie

Moffie (2021) – Movie Review

A harrowing denunciation of homophobia and violence in the army, too impersonal to fully land.

Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem in Being the Ricardos

Being the Ricardos (2021) – Movie Review

An interesting looks at the makings of classic TV comedy, marred by miscasts and an oddly dour mood.

The Card Counter (2021) – Movie Review

Paul Schared is back with a film at once aesthetically austere and emotionally fraught.

Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in The Matrix Resurrections

The Matrix Resurrections (2021) – Movie Review

for a blockbuster that could have been exploitative, or a cashgrab, or dull, Lana Wachowski made one that turned out to be, of all things, interesting, full of questions and choices that I am still mulling over in my head.
