Beasts of No Nation (2015)

  • Criterion Collection, Fukunaga, Cary
  • 2015, Cary Fukunaga, Ghana, USA
  • 2 Comments

Has an epic sweep befitting of a powerful story set in the heart of an African civil war, but Fukunaga’s eye for humanity amid the brutality helps to ground it in emotional terms.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Moonlight (2016)

  • Jenkins, Barry
  • 2016, Barry Jenkins, USA
  • 2 Comments

There’s a niggling feeling that Jenkins’ film may have been over-hyped, but there are poetic moments of exquisite beauty and melancholy in this focused character study about the coming-of-age of a black gay man.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

  • Popular
  • 2019, Marvel, USA
  • 1 Comment

A superhero movie that falls under the genre of teenage romance—a tad charming, but not exactly a solid, consequential work.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

  • Popular
  • 2017, Marvel, USA

Feels like an appetizer from Marvel, but this latest ‘Spider-Man’ movie is executed with typical efficiency and panache.

Bigger Than Life (1956)

  • Criterion Collection, Ray, Nicholas
  • 1956, Nicholas Ray, USA
  • 1 Comment

At times operating like a domestic ‘horror’ film about the disintegration of a nuclear family, this controlled and daring drama sees Nicholas Ray and actor James Mason in great form.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Toy Story (1995)

  • Popular
  • 1995, John Lasseter, Pixar, USA

An instant classic – without Pixar’s first breakthrough hit, there wouldn’t have been CG animation today.
