What a beautifully realized film about the fragile, complicated bonds between parents and their children.
“H Is for Hawk”
Leans too heavily into the familiar, but the film is a thoughtful, quietly profound meditation on grief and the fragile process of learning how to live again.
“Union County”
Doesn’t quite rise above being a quietly competent indie drama, but it will certainly resonate with viewers who personally know someone who’s been through the system.
“A Private Life”
A great example of thoughtful, modern noir that values psychological depth over straightforward plot devices.
“The Rip”
A mediocre entry in the already overcrowded dirty cop genre.
“Mercy”
The film may fall short of its ambitions, but its modern spin on the legal crime drama delivers enough thrills and mystery to entertain.
