This historical biopic about the father of the atomic bomb raises moral and ethical questions that are poignant, chilling, and relevant.
“Playland”
I’m in awe of the concept of the film and its interesting style and subject matter, but this experimental queer historical fantasy isn’t something that is fun to watch, and it’s certainly not a film I ever want to see again.
“All To Play For (Rien à Perdre)”
Exploring the struggles faced by single working parents and a system that seems to be against them at every turn, the film makes fair points on both sides of a complicated issue.
“Black Ice”
An educational look at racist patterns in hockey that have existed since the sport’s inception, this documentary is a rallying cry for all fans to demand change for the better.
“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One”
Smart, sophisticated, and polished in a way that tends to evade your typical summer blockbuster, this is an absolutely terrific action movie that overdelivers.
“Quicksand”
Low budget thrillers belong to a genre that often doesn’t require particularly strong direction, acting, or a massive amount of financial backing to make an effective movie, and that’s exactly what this is: a passable movie with a killer story that’s simply not good enough.
