El 47 – Film Review
Spanish Film Festival is on in Melbourne, and this beautifully crafted true-life drama about a bus driver from the outskirts of Barcelona was a good pick.
12 Angry Men (1957) – Film Review
This blistering courtroom drama from director Sidney Lumet held me in such thrall from start to finish I didn’t dare pause it once.
Challengers – Film Review
This Zendaya-starring, sweat-drenched tennis drama is stylish and luscious, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me.
Born Yesterday – Film Review
This 1950 comedy-drama doesn’t quite overcome its stage origins, and its political satire may feel tame by today’s standards, but it’s elevated by Judy Holiday’s irresistible performance as a smart dumb blonde.
Flow – Film Review
You don’t have to be a feline obsessive to fall in love with this magical and unique animated adventure about a cat surviving in the post-apocalyptic world.
Love Lies Bleeding – Film Review
This sweaty and grimy thriller didn’t quite work for me overall, but I couldn’t help but admire its fearless, go-for-broke attitude.
Trap – Film Review
M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller begins with an intriguing premise, then devolves into utter stupidity. I still had fun with it, even if I was rolling my eyes at how ludicrous it was.
Megalopolis – Film Review
I finally watched Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis and found it an engrossing train wreck. In many ways it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, but this cinematic insanity is just too singular and bizarre for me to write it off.
