Pixar remains about as steady a cinematic brand as there is. Even if some proclaim that they haven’t put out a masterwork in some time, you know you’re in for a treat when they put out a new film. So, it’s likely no surprise to say that Luca is a high-quality bit of animation. What’s […] More

Tribeca Film Festival Review: Vanessa Kirby’s Acting and Nicholas Britell’s Score Can’t Prevent ‘Italian Studies’ From Being a Slog
Watching a magnetic actress in just about anything can be a compelling experience. At least, it can be up until a certain point. Then, a satisfying movie surrounding her needs to appear.
