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…
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…
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…
Movies about life’s growing pains often fall into two categories: the overly saccharine crowd-pleasers or the brooding, introspective think-pieces. But every now and then, a film strikes a rare balance, tapping into the everyday chaos of being human with humor and heart. Cooper Raiff’s Cha Cha Real Smooth is that kind of movie—a tender, disarmingly…
Sometimes a movie sneaks up on you, breaking through the noise of overly polished Hollywood productions to deliver something real. Silver Linings Playbook is one of those movies. It’s a wild, messy, and at times overwhelming piece of storytelling that feels less like a scripted narrative and more like stepping into someone else’s chaotic life…
Let’s start with this: The Hotwives of Orlando doesn’t pull any punches. It throws its satirical weight squarely at the juggernaut that is The Real Housewives, a franchise so excessive it practically parodies itself. The writers, Dannah Phirman and Danielle Schneider, know their source material inside out, and they approach it with a sharpness that’s…
There’s something about Love, Victor that makes it hard to pin down. At first glance, it might seem like just another coming-of-age series—a spinoff sequel to Love, Simon that leans heavily into the emotional highs and lows of teenage life. But as the show progresses, it proves to be something more nuanced, something richer. It’s…
There’s something oddly comforting about a show like King of the Hill. At first glance, it’s an unassuming animated series about a propane salesman, his family, and their small Texas town. It doesn’t shout at you with flashy visuals or slapstick gags. Instead, it ambles into your living room, parks itself on the couch, and…
Solar Opposites, a Hulu animated series birthed from the minds behind Rick and Morty, is a show that thrives on contradiction. It’s an exploration of absurdity, chaos, and humor, but for those coming at it from a Christian worldview, it may feel like trying to navigate a colorful tornado. Let’s dissect what this whirlwind of…
You might’ve heard about Will & Grace—the show that made waves back in 1998 and became a pop culture juggernaut. It was snarky, bold, and unapologetically funny, yet somehow managed to be tender when you least expected it. For Christian viewers, approaching a series like this means stepping into a space where laughter, values, and…
