The film has an unusual blend of melancholy and whimsy, which in turn makes this film much more meaningful to adults rather than children.
“Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot”
Callahan’s career as a crude cartoonist is where the real interesting stuff lies; too bad it’s only touched on briefly in favor of reminding audiences of AA’s 12 step program.
“The Spy Who Dumped Me”
The breezy, casual attitude accompanied by action-packed shootouts and fistfights make this one a goofy, feminist good time.
DVD & Streaming: August
Our recommendations for what’s new for home viewing this month.
“Eighth Grade”
Writer / Director Bo Burnham’s intimate ode to early teenage angst at times feels like a documentary rather than a fictional narrative, making it just as awkward and relatable as its lead character.
“The Darkest Minds”
In the end, nothing can overcome the feeling of a dystopian déjà vu. If only a little imagination had been thrown in to stir things up.
