The Dry by Jane Harper – Book Review
I haven’t read Australian fiction in a while, and I quite enjoyed this solid, well-written crime novel set in regional Victoria during an unrelenting drought.
Le Samouraï – Film Review
This stylish, icy cool 1967 crime thriller starring Alain Delon has been on my movie radar for ages, so I was excited to catch its 4K restoration on the big screen.
Saltburn – Film Review
I finally checked out one of last year’s most divisive and talked about movies, and it was… an experience, even if I find it hard to say whether the film was actually good or not, underneath all that luscious imagery and transgressive moments.
Anatomy of a Fall – Film Review
A layered, smart and elegant psychological thriller that begins as a murder mystery, morphs into a courtroom drama, and ends up a blistering examination of a failing marriage.
The Killer – Film Review
I enjoyed David Fincher’s thriller about a deadly perfectionist for what it is, a stylish, sleek, superbly directed and acted procedural that doesn’t have a lot going on beneath the surface… and that’s ok.
Knock at the Cabin – Film Review
This apocalyptic thriller is a disappointingly mediocre M. Night Shyamalan offering, a very silly movie that takes itself way too seriously and is neither great nor memorably awful.
Killing Moon by Jo Nesbo – Book Review
A random purchase at an op shop got me back into this Norwegian crime series starring Harry Hole, the grizzled, hard-drinking, rule book-shredding, classic rock-loving detective with uncanny instincts for solving the most puzzling and heinous crimes.
Burning – Film Review
“Slow and quiet thriller” may sound like a strange way to describe this haunting, cryptic Korean movie, but it feels apt. Inspired by Haruki Murakami’s short story, it’s built on ambiguity and unease, and is immensely rewarding in the end.
