Sundance Film Festival Review: ‘Alice’ Wastes a Promising Premise
Few things are a bigger bummer in the film world than a festival title that wastes a good premise. When a movie doesn’t know what to do with a concept that initially drew you in, it almost always leads to massive disappointment. At the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Alice is that flick. It’s almost impossible […] More

Sundance Film Festival Review: ‘Emily the Criminal’ Finds Aubrey Plaza At Her Most Intense
Aubrey Plaza is an actress that I wish more directors saw dramatic potential in. She’s already established herself as a talented comedic performer, but Plaza has also aced serious material before. Her droll nature just works on both levels. So, getting the lead in a crime drama/thriller like Emily the Criminal was always going to […] More

Sundance Film Festival Review: ‘892’ Heartbreakingly Depicts How a System Failed a Good But Desperate Man
Brian Brown-Easley served his country. His country, in turn, did not serve him. That simple fact led a troubled but decent man to put himself in an impossible situation. This is the premise for the biographical drama/thriller 892, one of the saddest movies playing at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. If his story doesn’t make […] More

Sundance Film Festival Review: Cooper Raiff Cements Himself As An Exciting Young Voice With ‘Cha Cha Real Smooth’
If Shithouse was an appetizer for the talents of Cooper Raiff, we now have the main course. With Cha Cha Real Smooth, one of the 2022 Sundance Film Festival’s most buzzed about titles, Raiff has cemented himself as a storyteller of some note. Not only is this movie incredibly charming, it crafts one of the […] More

Film Review: ‘Sundown’ Features An Incredible (And Incredibly Hard To Like) Tim Roth
Tim Roth is worth watching in whatever he does. Whether he’s playing with Quentin Tarantino, helming his own film, or anything in between, Roth is a compelling talent. So, his recent collaborations with Michael Franco have been particularly interesting. Not only are they getting some of his best work, they’re doing so in movies that […] More

Satire on the big screen can come in all shapes and sizes. Timely satire is especially something that can land in a big way. So, skewering toxic masculinity is quite fertile ground for a comedy in 2022.

Sundance Film Festival Review: ‘Sharp Stick’ is a Story of Self-Discovery Filtered Through Lena Dunham’s Filmmaking Lens
Lena Dunham is a storyteller who follows the beat of her own drummer. Whether it’s her first film, the independent comedy Tiny Furniture, or her hit HBO series Girls, Dunham does things her way, and you’re either in or you’re out. So far, I have been, so I went into her sophomore feature Sharp Stick […] More

Sundance Film Festival Review: ‘Good Luck To You, Leo Grande’ Showcases Emma Thompson Looking for Some Quality Sex
The Sundance Film Festival almost always has a sex comedy or two in their lineup. Sundance also usually has a two-hander in its midst where a pair of characters just talk.
