With there being all kinds of movies coming out from week to week it’s hard for little indie films to make it sometimes. A24 is one of those companies that have invested very well in arthouse directors and indie films that premiered at film festivals like the Sundance Film Festival. The latest example of thisContinue reading “You Hurt My Feelings Review- A Total Misfire For Everyone Involved”

Beau is Afraid Review- An Ambitious Yet Self-Indulgent Third Outing for Aster
Ari Aster came onto the scene back in 2018 with the first of his two big hits, Hereditary about a family who is haunted by an apparition, and in 2020 with Midsommar about a group of young people who get more than what they bargained for when they go to a commune in Sweden. SufficeContinue reading “Beau is Afraid Review- An Ambitious Yet Self-Indulgent Third Outing for Aster”
Showing Up Review- A Strange Collection of Characters at an Art School Doesn’t Make a Movie
There are a lot of films in the history of the movie industry that are just slice-of-life stories. That’s the case with Showing Up. It’s just this small little story that features a close-knit group of friends and family members. It’s not trying to be anything that important or groundbreaking. Kelly Reichardt is that kindContinue reading “Showing Up Review- A Strange Collection of Characters at an Art School Doesn’t Make a Movie”
The Inspection Review
As diversity in film and equality in Hollywood has started to spread through the film industry, more and more movies have started telling LGBT stories. Some are comedies, and others are very serious fare, such as The Inspection. In this film, Elegance Bratton writes and directs what amounts to a movie about his time in bootContinue reading “The Inspection Review”
The Whale Review
Darren Aronofsky is a director that isn’t for everybody. His films are a little offbeat. That’s not surprising though to most film fans or critics. We’ve been watching his films for a while now. I started watching his films with Requiem For a Dream and Pi. The Fountain wasn’t one of my favorites of hisContinue reading “The Whale Review”
Aftersun Review
Father-daughter or father-son movies have been a genre that has usually had some good films. It is a genre that pulls at the heartstrings and brings out the emotions of the characters depicted in the movie. These types of films usually have dramatic moments or tough love that parents can give to their children. AndContinue reading “Aftersun Review”
Stars at Noon Review
Stars at Noon is the second film of 2022 for fence filmmaker Claire Denis. The other one, Both Sides of the Blade starring Juliette Binoche and Vincent Lindon (Titane) was almost unwatchable. Her film High Life from 2018 starring Robert Pattinson was quite the contrary. I was totally engaged by this man living on aContinue reading “Stars at Noon Review”
Pearl Review
We all remember way back in March, there was a new horror film from director Ti West called X. It was about a group of filmmakers who go to a farm to film a porno movie. Instead, they get attacked by an old woman who is jealous of them. Pearl is the sequel to thatContinue reading “Pearl Review”
Funny Pages Review
There have been a few movies about cartoonists before but none of them have been as weird and off the wall as Funny Pages. This film is a cross between American Splendor and a coming-of-age film. It has a period look to it that takes place back in the 80s but it’s a modern film.Continue reading “Funny Pages Review”
Bodies Bodies Bodies Review
There have been plenty of horror films where a group of young people meets up in a single location. This horror trope is so old it’s hardly an original idea for a movie… that is, until now. You have a young couple meeting their friends at a secluded mansion on a mountain during a hurricane.Continue reading “Bodies Bodies Bodies Review”
