Go ahead. A sharp, well-written and relentlessly engaging little thriller. The relay service was a truly novel idea. Riz Ahmed is consistently amazing and Lily James turns in a killer performance to match. Riz is a fixer, Lily engaged in some corporate esp...

Descendent isn’t entirely without its redeeming qualities. It sports some interesting visuals, a capable if largely unknown cast committed to their roles and emotionally-relatable dynamics. A loving couple falters after a serious injury to the husband. T...

When I see a run time so short I expect to either be seriously disappointed or very impressed. Hallow Road left me very impressed. Nearly the entirety of the film consists of Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys on and off the phone with their daughter — tryin...

White supremacy is a sad feature of the American experiment, not an outlier, not a bug, not abnormal. It's what the country was built on, tries to convince itself it wasn't, tries to push into the shadows and now, in our current moment, openly embraces it....

A brisk, modern spy film with (to my ear) a quirky score that still manages to work. A lighter Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . Another laudable entry into the Michael Fassbender plays a spy genre (this time for the Brits — though I suppose we'll see about ne...

I've said before that I'll watch any movie with a Cronenberg family member attached but this was fucking awful . Vincent Cassel is a talented actor and, I suppose, does the best he can with what he was given. Video screens in headstones, creeping on your w...

This was a wonderful, harrowing surprise. I love post-apocalyptic explorations whether they're movies, shows or books and went into this knowing enjoy it based purely on that. Danielle Deadwyler shines in this — she's an absolute badass. The score is per...

The true story underpinning this is far more impressive than the reality of the film. I like the cast — Simu, Finn Cole (big Animal Kingdom fan right here) and Woody Harrelson shines as the grizzled old weirdo — but, unfortunately, it's not a terribly ...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/presence-2025 · 23 Mar 2025
A haunted house movie shot from the perspective of the presence haunting it. Or, well, maybe not — the scariest presence in the house is the family. Sure — some stuff flies around. That's part and parcel of the genre, but the way the film is shot is th...

Picking apples, making pies. The atmosphere throughout this movie is so weighty it could sink a ship. Maybe it should have. Every step of it is brilliantly acted, shot in gray-ish, desaturated hues and hellishly dark. Move to the new world, bring the kids,...
