This screen adaptation of Graham Swift’s novella about a secret love affair in post WWI England is a misfire on all counts.
“Dug Dug”
Smart, sarcastic, and over-the-top eccentric in a Wes Anderson-meets-Quentin Dupieux sort of way.
“The Hill Where Lionesses Roar”
Captures the feeling of being trapped in a life you never asked for, and wanting so desperately to get yourself out of it.
“All My Puny Sorrows”
An emotionally exhausting film that’s delicately directed, touching, refined, and subtle in its storytelling.
“As in Heaven”
This thought-provoking work and its themes of using superstition and religion as a means of control will resonate on a primal level with many women.
“The Card Counter”
This intense drama has all the expected hallmarks of a Schrader film, but feels disappointing, pointless, and routine.
