WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY
“Rian Johnson sets about spinning the kind of hall-of-mirrors narrative that made the first two Knives Out movies so much fun.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
A FEW FEET AWAY
“It’s ironically apt that the viewer may, to some degree, experience a version of what the frustrated Santiago suffers: This is a film that’s strangely, stubbornly hard to connect with emotionally.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH
“Avatar: Fire and Ash continues to offer striking visuals and compelling storytelling and should more than satisfy fans of the series.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
DAVID
“The animated David is a decidedly mixed bag. There are some things that impress while other parts of the film are cringeworthy. Perhaps the youngsters for whom this is directed to will be more charitable.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“Why spend a thousand nights fending off the patriarchy when an hour and a half will do?”
“Merrily We Roll Along may seem like a cynical exercise about people who have messed up their lives, but it’s really about bad choices having consequences, and hoping not to lose the optimism of one’s youth.” 
“The film builds to an anguished climax, and is then capped by an exhilarating final scene linking all the film’s narrative strands, culminating in an epiphany as we hear Hamlet’s famous soliloquy as if for the first time.” 
“One of the best opening scenes ever–an actress in the throes of stage fright on opening night! The scene foreshadows what’s at stake in the film: the visceral connection between real life and life on stage.” 
“A metaphor for the way grief growls from the shadows and strikes out of the blue that might not work for everyone.” 
“Lightening the mood of suspense are moments of pure black comedy and a love of cinema.” 
“Eternity may be the best afterlife movie since ‘Defending Your Life’ (1991). You’ll get caught up in both the romcom and ‘what if’ elements and it will leave you thinking what you might do.” 
“Wicked: For Good joins its predecessor in jointly creating one of the best movie musicals in years.” 
“The makers of The Dummy Detective are asking a lot. It’s a comedy that crosses a hardboiled film noir detective story with an Agatha Christie-like mystery. And ventriloquist dummies. You either have to accept it or not.” 
“Godard is a vision of artistic ambition and seemingly unfocused intensity, as insubstantial as cigarette smoke and yet exerting a mammoth gravity on everything around him.” 
“In Your Dreams is a charming animated offering from Netflix that should delight youngsters while opening the door to discussing dreams and nightmares.”
