Alcarràs (2022) – Movie Review

The genius of Alcarràs is that it finds ways to tell emotional and even political truths as if by coincidence, articulating with silence or in the background what other movies struggle to tell directly.

Alexander Skarsgard in The Northman

The Northman (2022) – Movie Review

A visceral epic bursting with rage, elevated by great performances and aesthetics that mask a somewhat perfunctory aesthetic.

Woody Norman and Joaquin Phoenix in C'mon C'mon

C’mon C’mon (2022) – Movie Review

With so many films devoted to the different aspects of parenthood, I’d never seen one so thoughtfully, so compassionately study the emotional needs of a child.

Torn (2022) – Movie Review

Torn is an engrossing film that presents a unique situation and makes it relatable, if not without some moments of emotional exhibitionism.

Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in Badhaai Do

Badhaai Do (2022) – Movie Review

Can I convince you to try something different? Badhaai Do (which apparently means something along the lines of “Best Wishes”) is a rare queer mainstream Bollywood film, and also a feel-good romantic comedy of errors that you can find right there on Netflix.

Natalie Morales and Mark Duplass in Language Lessons

Language Lessons (2022) – Movie Review

Language Lessons is fine for a lockdown movie, if you don’t care about the premise any more than it does, but I hoped for more from a movie all about learning Spanish.

Takeru Satoh in Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning

Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning (2021) – Movie Review

Even if the story treads familiar ground, Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning is done well enough that it’s worth the effort if you like a good samurai film, even more so if you’re a fan of the character.

The Worst Person in the World (2022) – Movie Review

A fresh, lively character study to brighten up a serious cinematic landscape.
