Judy (2020) – Movie Review
Judy is a mostly by-the-numbers biopic, propelled by a star performance, with not much to say.
Waves (2020) – Movie Review
Waves is almost two movies in one. The first is dynamic, energetic, and stressful; the second is slow, melancholy, and contemplative. Both are full of life and emotion.
Les Traducteurs (2020) – Movie Review
This translator was pleasantly surprised that Les Traducteurs, in addition to being an expertly crafted thriller, is faithful to our profession.
Jojo Rabbit (2020) – Movie Review
Jojo Rabbit is good fun, and worth a watch, with a few well-placed gags that will stay with me, even if it does not achieve its potential as satire.

Underwater is a lean, relentless horror-thriller that barges into the screen, does its job and then barges right out again.
Consequences (Posledice) (2018) – Movie Review
Consequences is a rough experience in a ruthless environment, but its regard is clear-eyed and energetic. It is a tale of survival in a violent, hypermasculine world.

The Souvenir is a different kind of love story: a look at a toxic relationship, how they happen, and why people stay in them despite a million obvious reasons not to.
The Farewell (2019) – Movie Review
Here’s a story about being foreign, especially about being foreign in your own family. The Farewell is a sharp but grounded observant of the family dynamics in the face of tragedy.
1917 (2019) – Movie Review
What elevates 1917, to me, is that in the middle of all the action, it is a touchingly human film.
