An inspiring true story that features one of the most authentic big screen portrayals of a complex female friendship.
“The Holdovers”
Painfully honest and sentimental, the film strikes a delicate balance of melancholy and humor. It’s like a hug for those who could really, really use one.
“Deliver Us”
This theological horror thriller has a solid backbone story-wise, but stiff performances and a lazy ending drags it down.
“Flora and Son”
Another sweet and charming win from writer / director John Carney, the master of making crowd-pleasing films for music lovers.
“The Wait (La Espera)”
A moody, masculine folk horror revenge thriller that deals with grief, guilt, class, and the darkness of human nature.
“The Creator”
A mediocre sci-fi epic that uses big ideas as a stand-in for actual character development. The lack of follow-through is as maddening as it is lazy.
