Timothy Hall's independent film is a melancholic queer southern romance that deserves to be seen.
There’s no doubt, Kahn ingratiates himself with the material, yet it never feels like he’s exploring more than what he’s comfortable with, or adding dimensions to characters beyond what their traumas would suggest. 15/18 (A Place to Heal) shows an unvarnished portrait of mental health afflicting young adults who are on the verge of being independent. But by the time the ending nears, it never feels like we learned anything more than at the beginning.
Thank God! Furious is renewed for Season 2, as per Deadline, and I cannot get enough of these damaged yet ferocious characters. I want to see what more they could bring to the table. Whether the story picks up directly from the devastating events of the finale or opens an entirely new chapter, it will be exciting to see how far Furious is willing to go.
Primetime is a searing and uncomfortable plunge into the nondescript area of exploitation, consumption, and justice. Pattinson’s uncanny immersion in a man determined to be right about an America plagued with a sickness that must be revealed is as fascinating as it is horrifying to watch a piece of vintage Americana have more prescience now than it did 20 years ago.
In moonlight, black boys look blue. When Moonlight beat La La Land for Best Picture in 2017, it became not only a moment of virality and shock, but also solidified the film’s iconicity for years to come. The talk of the town that night was, of course, the egregious Oscar misfire. The photo of La […]
Wild Horse Nine may feel like a lesser narrative in McDonagh's canon of twisted stories, yet it retains the brilliant chemistry of actors and dialogue that make it just as fitting of an entry. Compared to the morbid stage tales and bloody tragic films, Wild Horse Nine feels more stripped of that inclination toward violence, emphasizing characters living and breathing their environment and reflecting on their emotional purgatory. Never would one think John Malkovich interacting with a horse would prove to be the film’s most emotional focal point, yet only a madman like McDonagh could concoct a scenario as bizarre and earnest as the one in this film.
Written by Samy Burch, based on the 1990 New Yorker article of the same name by Ian Frazier, Coyote vs. Acme is a miracle.
From 'Michael' to 'Elvis' and 'A Complete Unknown,' male biopics have proven to be hits in Hollywood. So why don't female biopics get the same attention?
Coyote vs. Acme has overcome all its trials and tribulations, placing third in the domestic box office this weekend. The film grossed an estimated $11,111,621 in wide release. While this number may appear low by the standards of a conventional studio release, the road to movie theaters has been anything but conventional for this film. […]
Macon Blair's new film isn't his best work, but it's a serviceable watch, particularly after a beer or two.
Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars starts out strong, but winds up with nowhere to go.
We all know Netflix is in the business of crime thrillers, and The Whisper Man only helps strengthen that business. Yet, while it falls right in line with the genre that the studio is often known for, it doesn’t do it any substantial service, delivering a middling crime thriller at best. And with a star-studded cast, an interesting director in James Ashcroft, and a story with potential, it’s a mystery in and of itself as to how something like The Whisper Man could be so disappointing.
Early Days seems to deliberately withhold the comfort of knowing where the performance ends and the truth begins. In that sense, its most interesting theme is not simply about the creator economy, but about the strange conditions of contemporary spectatorship itself: we are so accustomed to watching people manufacture versions of their lives that we begin to wonder whether authenticity was ever the point.
From Renée Zellweger to Alexandra Shipp, this year's HollyShorts Film Festival has many women-led shorts to see.
It’s been six years since the idea for It Ends entered writer-director Alex Ullom’s brain. The “hangout horror” film played the festival circuit, where it generated considerable buzz. It then went on to be one of the first films available on the Letterboxd Video Store. Neon subsequently scooped the film for theatrical release, which brings us here.
