You don’t walk into Nightbitch expecting a safe, predictable ride, and you certainly don’t leave with all the tidy answers tied up in a bow. No, this film isn’t built for that. Marielle Heller’s latest work, driven by Amy Adams in a performance so raw it practically bares its teeth, isn’t just a movie; it’s…
Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths is not just a film—it’s a slow, methodical excavation of the human condition. It’s the kind of cinematic experience that doesn’t simply present a story; it asks you to sit with it, to let it challenge you, to make you uncomfortable in the best way. Leigh, now 81 years old, continues…
There are movies that entertain, movies that make you think, and then there are movies like The Girl with the Needle, which reach deep into your soul and demand you confront the darkest parts of yourself and the world around you. Directed by Magnus von Horn, this haunting period drama thrusts its audience into the…
Cinema has a strange way of cutting deep when it mirrors the ugliest corners of our world, and The Order is no exception. This isn’t a popcorn thriller where the bad guys lose and we walk away feeling cleansed. No, this film lingers like a bruise—one you keep pressing, just to feel its ache. For…
Some films demand patience; The Return asks for your soul. This isn’t a movie that casually entertains on a Friday night while popcorn kernels pop in the microwave. Instead, it’s a cinematic wilderness, stripped down and stark, where each gust of wind carries weight, and every pause between words is filled with tension. This is…
What happens when you take the anxiety-riddled turn of the millennium, throw in a group of misfit teens, and let a rogue toaster lead a robot uprising? You get Y2K, a movie so chaotic and steeped in nostalgia it feels like someone dumped a Blockbuster Video into a blender and hit “apocalypse mode.” Directed with…
Carrie Coon steps into Lake George like a hurricane disguised as a summer breeze—subtle at first, yet unstoppable by the time you feel its full force. Her portrayal of Phyllis, a woman teetering on the edge of control, spins Jeffrey Reiner’s neo-noir crime comedy into something more profound than its premise suggests. As much a…
There’s something inherently chaotic about Get Away. You can’t pin it down to a single genre or vibe—it zigzags between a dark comedy and a folk-horror fever dream like a wayward tourist on a sketchy detour. And that’s exactly the point. Steffen Haars has taken a classic trope—the naïve vacationers stumbling into a nightmare—and spun…
The End isn’t the kind of movie you watch lightly. It sneaks up on you, gets under your skin, and demands you wrestle with it long after the credits roll. Joshua Oppenheimer, a director known for tackling the unspoken, doesn’t just invite you into a story—he traps you inside it, giving you no choice but…
Paul Schrader’s Oh, Canada doesn’t ask for your approval. It doesn’t beckon you into its world with open arms or glossy promises of escapism. Instead, it stares you down, weathered and unapologetic, daring you to grapple with its themes. This is Schrader at his most pared-back, vulnerable, and personal. And while the film is imperfect…
