Incredibly striking 16mm photography fills the frames of Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash, the new feature from Indonesian filmmaker Edwin. Co-written by the director and Eka Kurniawan, based on Kurniawan’s book of the same name, the film tells the story of Ajo Kawir (Marthino Lio), a street fighter whose hyper-masculinity and need to […] More
Netflix has become known for releasing original films that are either mammoth in scale and/or prestige (think The Irishman and Army of the Dead) or tiny little productions (things like Paddleton and Horse Girl). As is the case with the majority of Hollywood, there isn’t much room for the star-driven mid-budget films that we saw […] More
A brutal landscape provides the setting for a showdown between good and evil in The North Water, a five-part limited series from creator Andrew Haigh streaming now on AMC+. Based on the novel by Ian McGuire, Haigh (Weekend, 45 Years) wrote and directed the series, starring Jack O’Connell as Patrick Sumner, a disgraced former army […] More
For many viewers, all you’ll need to hear is “Isabelle Huppert plays a drug smuggler named Mama Weed” in order to book your front row seat for Jean-Paul Salomé’s new crime caper. It’s easy to see why, as Huppert is one of the best actors we have today, making each new project she takes on […] More
With most of Hollywood’s tentpole productions mining whatever decades-old IP they can get their hands on, it’s pretty rare for a completely original property to exist at all, let alone to build out a world so enticing that you want to come back for another round the moment it’s over. Perhaps that’s why Gunpowder Milkshake […] More
Dogs are better than humans. That’s just a fact. The upcoming documentary We Don’t Deserve Dogs, currently on the festival circuit, is cinematic proof. The film not only pays tribute to our furry friends, but ponders why on Earth they’re so good to us. In some cases, we’ve certainly earned canine companionship, but in others, […] More
Every so often, you see a horror movie that grabs you from the beginning, and leaves you completely satisfied by the ending. Tar is not even close to that movie. Instead, the film delivers weak effects, dreadful acting, and a scrawny plot with minimal scares. It’s hard to describe the exact plot of this movie, […] More
Halloween is fast approaching! One of the most exciting parts of the season is watching horror movies, both new and old. When it was heard that a new horror film was coming out and part of it takes place at a Halloween party, excitement was building for a new autumn flick. However, Do Not Reply […] More
The stunning debut for writer/director Andrew Patterson, The Vast of Night is an imaginative and seductively eerie movie reminiscent of The Twilight Zone and Twin Peaks. Indeed, the movie makes no bones about being a straight-out homage to The Twilight Zone right from the beginning, but it easily morphs into its own being as we […] More
