THE THING WITH FEATHERS
“A metaphor for the way grief growls from the shadows and strikes out of the blue that might not work for everyone.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
“The Thing With Feathers is an extended meditation on grief and despair, two emotions you may experience if you try to slog through this film.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
THE SECRET AGENT
“Lightening the mood of suspense are moments of pure black comedy and a love of cinema.” – Killian Melloy, Cinesaurus Rex
ETERNITY
“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.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies
“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.”
“This Frankenstein cements del Toro’s reputation as one of the best contemporary filmmakers.”
“To appreciate Don’t Trip requires making allowances for a low-budget movie with ragged edges.There are some moments where it might feel the movie is out of control, but if you can make it to the end, it’s worth the effort.”
“The film lands some commentary on contemporary politics with all the finesse of a haymaker, but it’s not wrong to do so.”
“The Panama setting is a selling point, but it’s the cast, fearless and committed, along with Hawkins’ direction that makes this indie shine.”
“For people of my generation, Call Me By Your Name felt like a cinematic banner. For Gen Z, I Wish You All the Best might fill a similar niche.”
“Predator Badlands is another fun and action-packed installment from Dan Trachtenberg!”
“An intense performance by Colin Farrell drives Ballad Of A Small Player. Farrell lets us see both the false confidence Doyle attempts to exude and his increasing desperation as things go wrong.”
“Anniversary is like last year’s film Civil War. It is a disturbing parable about the increasing polarization of our country and, like that earlier film, manages to do so without directly commenting on current events.”
