Tag / Todd Haynes

May December (2023)

  • Haynes, Todd
  • 2023, Todd Haynes, USA
  • 2 Comments

More deliberately paced than expected, Haynesโ€™ tabloid-ish melodrama doesnโ€™t quite land that well narratively or emotionally, though it features strong performances throughout.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Wonderstruck (2017)

  • Haynes, Todd
  • 2017, Todd Haynes, USA
  • Leave a comment

A languidly-paced work that has a great concept exploring human connections across time, with some moments of sublime filmmaking, but Haynesโ€™ overall grasp of tone and thematic intent is a letdown.

Dark Waters (2019)

  • Haynes, Todd
  • 2019, Todd Haynes, USA

This is a quiet and unassuming work about a real-life lawsuit against a chemical company accused of toxic poisoning, but Haynesโ€™ unhurried filmmaking style feels like a mismatch for its content.

Carol (2015)

  • Haynes, Todd
  • 2015, Todd Haynes, USA
  • 4 Comments

Todd Haynes directs Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett flawlessly in this nuanced and intoxicating period drama on mutual affection and desire.

Far From Heaven (2002)

  • Haynes, Todd
  • 2002, Todd Haynes, USA
  • 3 Comments

There is a lot to appreciate in one of Todd Haynes’ most accessible films, as he channels Douglas Sirk’s melodrama style.
