Film Review: ‘The White Tiger’ Doesn’t Have Sharp Enough Teeth
On paper, The White Tiger should be a slam dunk for Netflix. A purportedly sharp-edged satire, it’s based on a well regarded novel, and comes from filmmaker Ramin Bahrani.

Film Review: ‘Greenland’ is the Canary in the Coal Mine for Modern Disaster Movies
By no fault of its own, Greenland picked the absolute wrong year to come out. The year 2020 has seen real life become its own disaster movie. To that end, watching the world collapse, as well as society break down, doesn’t necessarily have the same luster on screen at the moment. We’ve had tragedies before […] More
