Netflix’s Alias Grace isn’t the kind of show that wraps everything up neatly with a bow, but that’s exactly why it draws you in. Its messy, ambiguous nature is both its strength and its potential shortcoming, depending on what you’re hoping to get out of it. Based on the novel by Margaret Atwood, this six-part…
There are some stories that are just hard to watch. Not because they’re full of jump scares or gut-wrenching tragedy—although American Sports Story has its fair share of gut punches—but because they put a mirror up to us, to our culture, to the systems we’ve built, and the messes we try not to notice. The…
Lawrence of Arabia is a cinematic masterpiece that you don’t just watch—you experience. A film that leaves you staring at the screen long after it ends, not just because of its grandeur, but because of its deep, unsettling exploration of human nature. It’s not the kind of film you easily summarize or categorize. It’s an…
12 Years a Slave is not a movie you just “watch” and walk away from unchanged. It’s one of those few films that sinks into you, deep, making its home somewhere uncomfortable, somewhere you’d rather not dwell but can’t seem to shake. When you start a movie like this, you’re not sitting down to enjoy…
We’ve all seen those films—the ones about men past their prime trying to reach back and grab onto their glory days like they’re holding onto the ropes in the final round of a fight. The Featherweight follows that same blueprint. But here’s the twist: this isn’t just another movie about a washed-up boxer. It’s a…
Christopher Reeve. The man who wore a cape and flew across our screens in Superman seemed invincible, right? It’s so easy to attach those heroic qualities to the actor behind the role, to blend the fantasy and the reality. But then, life happens. Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story takes that very idea—of heroism, of resilience,…
When you read the title Winner, it does not suggest “political drama” or “moral dilemma.” And that is interesting. Bryan Fogel’s latest feature, Winner, explores a significant critique of the American political machinery; at the same time, it adopts a bizarrely light—if not childish—tone. In other words, Winner is not going to develop as a…
Let’s be honest, analyzing comedy can sometimes feel like dissecting a joke—by the time you’re done, all the humor is gone. But with Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut), you’re dealing with something that invites that kind of deep dive. In fact, it feels like this documentary almost demands it. With six hours…
Lenox Hill is a Netflix series, which makes for easy binge-watching. When I first started it, I didn’t what to expect I did know it was a documentary, and I knew that doctors were involved. I had no idea, however, how much it would put my heart in motion — something; that I thought could…
It’s not every day that a film like The Mother of All Lies comes along, a documentary that takes the idea of memory and history and holds it up to the light in such an intimate, almost unsettling way. Director Asmae El Moudir doesn’t spoon-feed her audience; she challenges us to wade through fragmented family…
