“The Brutalist” is a beautiful, profound, devastating journey that shatters our preconceived notions of experience and ideals of the American dream, utilizing the core of architecture as the construction and deconstruction of both the film’s themes and its characters.
“Nickel Boys” is a masterpiece unmatched and moving in ways that stir the soul, rips you apart and rather than put you back together again, leaves you with yourself to decide what you’re going to do next. It doesn’t get better than this, folks.
“Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim” may be a middling return to middle earth, but it is better than most and better than most would expect, standing tall above its previous counter parts and only below the original trilogy.
The awards season is upon us, which means every film from every studio is in full campaign mode. This means…
Longing has never felt so visceral, and “Queer” brings that to life with incredible visual flare and powerful, daring performances.
“All We Imagine as Light” is a quiet slice of life film that bursts with serenity and honesty as it explores the lives of women in and out of love.
“A Real Pain” is the real deal, a brilliantly smart road trip drama about grief and loss that seamlessly oscillates between humor and heartache in profoundly human, deeply personal yet somehow wholly universal ways.
Believe the hype, “Wicked” is worth it. It is a blast from start to finish, will make your heart sing and leave you singing with a smile from ear to ear.
It is the ambition that keeps “Bird” from taking flight. The tonal shifts from unexplained fantasy story beats injected without warning against a grounded backdrop never quite mix, leaving you more confused than intrigued or pensive.
“Flow” is must see cinema, a boundary pushing animation achievement and one of the best animated films of the year. Hell, it may very well end up being out of the best films of the year, period.
