This was pretty to look at, well acted, rendered and about everything you'd expect from an objectively great film and I think it is that — a great film. But it's a great film that didn't click for me. A movie made for critics? I dunno. Fiennes was clearl...

🏰🧛🏻♂️ Of course that was Bill Skarsgård. I had no idea, but he's also perverseley skilled at bringing the most vile creatures to life on screen. Artfully crafted, dark, immersive and drenched in atmosphere. One of the few horror movies I'v...

A gruesome character study focused on Jacob (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who has an idyllic life before fucking up royally (RIP Schmidt ) and forcefully pushing away his family in an effort to get them to move on and — ultimately — protect them. The America...

I wanted a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie, I got a pre-apocalyptic documentary shouting at the viewer to turn back from a briefly previewed future dystopia that we're sprinting towards. It doesn't work perfectly, but it is deeply depressing. Asif Kapadia sp...

This movie is as unsettling as it is decadently rendered. And it's unsettling in part because it takes the popular (and justified) antipathy towards the rich and flips it on its head. The Cattons are flawed but kind, Oliver is a conniving manipulator that ...

A captivating, simmering rural thriller. The tension between Antoine and his Spanish neighbors is evident from the outset, but Sorogoyen masterfully ramps it up and the pace at which he does so is agonizing. The shouts, the small conflicts, the vaguely thr...

Dreamy, detached and dark. I'll need to watch this again but it was tough to watch this first time. The narration is stellar, Mr. Lisbon feels detached, the presentation is dreamlike and the Lisbon girls chafe under the dictatorial thumb of their painfully...

Minimal, beautifully shot and slow . It's an almost entirely visual movie — for better or worse — that didn't really go anywhere. Scarlett's an alien, Scarlett lures people in. Guy on motorcycle cleans things up. I'm not disappointed or upset that I wa...

Could've used more bear. Aubrey Plaza really shines in this one — whether she's deadpan in the opening act where she trades places with Sarah Gadon or the messy, emotional wreck starring in the film directed by Christopher Abott. And by shines I mean tha...
