Some movies sneak up on you, don’t they? You sit down expecting light laughs, maybe a touch of nostalgia, and instead, you find yourself grappling with questions about life, love, and what it means to grow up. Big is one of those films. It’s a comedy, sure. It’s a fantasy, absolutely. But it’s also a…
Some movies are laugh-out-loud funny. Some are cringe-inducing. Then there’s Cyrus, a film that dares to exist in the awkward, messy space between the two. It’s part comedy, part emotional excavation, and wholly unlike the typical summer blockbuster. Directed by the Duplass brothers, this quirky indie film walks a delicate line between hilarity and discomfort….
In the ever-expanding world of streaming thrillers, Netflix’s The Madness barges in, grabs your attention, and dares you to look away. Anchored by Colman Domingo’s magnetic performance, the series dives headfirst into a messy labyrinth of distrust, paranoia, and societal critique. It’s sharp, chaotic, sometimes poignant—but for a Christian viewer, it’s worth asking: is it…
Every so often, a television show comes along that makes you sit up and pay attention—not because it’s perfect, but because it dares to be ambitious, even if it doesn’t always succeed. Paramount+ and Showtime’s The Agency is one of those shows. It’s an espionage thriller that leans more into the cerebral than the explosive,…
David Gordon Green’s Nutcrackers comes into the holiday lineup with a bit of nostalgia tucked under its arm. It’s not hard to see what Green was aiming for here—a throwback to the scrappy, heart-on-its-sleeve family comedies of the ’70s and ’80s, the kind that didn’t try too hard to be polished but somehow made their…
There’s a frustrating emptiness at the heart of Cruel Intentions, and not the kind that makes you reflect deeply on life’s brokenness or the human condition. It’s the kind of emptiness that comes from a lack of substance, from stories so entangled in surface-level scandal that they lose sight of anything meaningful. Watching this eight-episode…
There’s something both comforting and unsettling about Get Millie Black. On one hand, it’s familiar—the crime drama beats we’ve seen before, the twists we expect, the characters battling their demons while chasing truth. But on the other hand, it feels uniquely raw. Maybe it’s the Jamaican setting, vibrant yet steeped in pain, or the way…
Ridley Scott has returned to the Roman arena with Gladiator II, a bold attempt to recapture the raw intensity of the original. It’s big. It’s loud. It’s everything you’d expect — and maybe a little less. From a Christian perspective, though, there’s a lot to unpack here. The story isn’t just about swords and sand;…
There’s a strange ache that lingers long after Maria fades to black, like the echo of a note sung with such precision it borders on pain. It’s not the sort of ache that comes from a tightly-wound tragedy or the abruptness of loss. No, this ache comes from watching the gradual unraveling of someone whose…
To describe Luca Guadagnino’s Queer as merely a film feels reductive—it’s more like a provocation in cinematic form. Adapted from William S. Burroughs’ slippery, enigmatic novella, the movie defies convention at every turn. It wants to be both a visceral experience and an intellectual exercise, challenging viewers to grapple with themes of isolation, desire, and…
