Bones and All (2022)

  • Guadagnino, Luca
  • 2022, Luca Guadagnino, USA
  • 1 Comment

Guadagninoโ€™s latest is a mild disappointment, a coming-of-age road movie featuring two cannibal lovers that rarely comes close to breaking out of its conceptual conceit.ย ย ย

She Said (2022)

There is nothing very cinematic about this standard-fare investigative journalism piece, but it tackles the exposรฉ of Harvey Weinstein and the topic of sexual assault effectively and without fuss.ย

Haywire (2011)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2011, Ireland, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 1 Comment

Soderbergh flaunts his technical ability in this rather mainstream endeavor, but style over substance makes the film far from the best of its genre.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

  • Popular
  • 2022, Ryan Coogler, USA
  • 2 Comments

It does make some attempt in drawing out a poignant story about grief and loss, with Letitia Wright particularly impressive, but this sequel doesnโ€™t quite scale the heights of the first movieโ€™s creative spirit, or share its tautness.

Near Dark (1987)

  • Bigelow, Kathryn
  • 1987, Kathryn Bigelow, USA
  • Leave a comment

Bigelowโ€™s first solo outing as director is an entertaining, at times subversive, neo-western vampire movie that is not afraid to have fun with its material.

Contagion (2011)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2011, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 3 Comments

One of the most realistic movies about a global pandemic outbreak, though Soderbergh’s film suffers from a rather lacklustre pacing and underdeveloped characters.

Boyz n the Hood (1991)

  • 1991, USA

One of the key works of American Black cinema of the โ€˜90s, this debut feature packs a punch in its depiction of race and violence despite occasionally wallowing in sentimentalism.ย

Blonde (2022)

  • Dominik, Andrew
  • 2022, Andrew Dominik, USA
  • 5 Comments

Dominik plays the miserabilist here in a relentlessly grim work that could be both intolerable and misunderstood at the same time, reimagining and dissecting Marilyn Monroe as an exploited emblem of what is wrong with our phallocentric world.

Broadcast News (1987)

Sparks truly fly in this superb film about a love triangle set in the milieu of television reporting, featuring a terrific Holly Hunter as a feisty news producer.

To Catch a Thief (1955)

  • Hitchcock, Alfred
  • 1955, Alfred Hitchcock, USA
  • 2 Comments

An ex-thief must clear his name in this touristy if somewhat middling Hitchcock film set in Southern France, but the scenery is amazing to look at, and the flirtatious energy between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly imbues it with mild erotic tension.
