Jackie Brown (1997)

  • Tarantino, Quentin
  • 1997, Quentin Tarantino, USA
  • 1 Comment

Some pacing issues aside, Tarantinoโ€™s only screen adaptation mostly works because of our faith in his characters and where he takes them to.

August: Osage County (2013)

  • 2013, USA
  • Leave a comment

Intense performances by the ensemble cast, in particular Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, elevate this honest and painful portrait of a feuding family to rather solid drama status.

Anomalisa (2015)

  • Others
  • 2015, Charlie Kaufman, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

Charlie Kaufmanโ€™s quaint and surreal stop-motion animation wonโ€™t blow you away, but its mature themes of isolation and companionship largely resonate.

Anatomy of a Murder (1959)

One of the best courtroom dramas ever shot, Premingerโ€™s film may be lengthy but is tremendously engaging.

A light-hearted adventure-comedy from the Golden Age of Hollywood with a predictable storyline but outstanding period production design.

Not exactly fully-developed, but interesting nonetheless – this is an animation about an apocalyptic world that is more suitable for teenagers than kids.

It Felt Like Love (2013)

A decent directorial feature debut that is an honest and intimate coming-of-age portrayal of a teenagerโ€™s sexual awakening.

F for Fake (1973)

  • Criterion Collection, Welles, Orson
  • 1973, Documentary, Orson Welles, USA
  • 1 Comment

This essayistic documentary (of sorts) is a brilliantly-edited labyrinth of facts, half-truths and lies if you can get into Wellesโ€™ sleigh-of-hand.
