Furie (Hai Phuong) (2019) – Movie Review

Exactly what I want out of a martial arts movie: practical action, a badass hero that can take a beating, no nonsense.

The Half of It (2020) – Movie Review

An enjoyable tale of friendship and longing with two immensely likable protagonists -weighed down by a messy last act.

How rare a pleasure, to see a director so confidently in command of his craft, with a cast so in sync with a common vision.

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.
