"There have been too many post-apocalyptic movies and television shows to mention, but "The Dog Stars" is a little different due to director #RidleyScott 's lyrical flying sequences and #JacobElordi 's compassionate, melancholy performance." #TheDogStars www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/the-...
After setting up characters to care about, "Train to Busan's" Yeon impresses with his incredibly choreographed stunt infected, all acting in unison with individual displays of jaw dropping contortionism. #ColonyMovie #YeonSang-ho www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/colo...

Just as Jane Schoenbrun's "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma" gives the history of a fictional horror franchise in a downward spiral in the opening credits of her film, along comes a real one... #InsidiousOutOfTheFurther #LinShaye www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/insi...
Garfield finds just the right angles and lighting within production designer Tommaso Ortino's New York City to suggest the past lurking just beneath the present..a gem of a film from filmmakers with unerring instincts #LateFame #KentJones #WillemDafoe #GretaLee www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/late...
Available for digital purchase and rental - being described as a dark comedy, but is more of a pitch black satire with two cannily cast former child stars...Martell and Butterfield are impressive as they turn their outward personae inside out #OurHeroBalthazar www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/our-...
goes to ridiculous and illogical lengths to posit that we don't know what we are missing until it's gone...There's a lot of Spielberg DNA in the dinosaur sequences, but this is Spielberg crossed with something like "Jumanji." #TheEndOfOakStreet #AnneHathaway www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/the-...
This movie is a blast on so many levels. Writer/director Jane Schoenbrun...has made their most personal film to date while also both analyzing and parodying the slasher genre. #TeenageSexAndDeathAtCampMiasma #JaneSchoenbrun #GillianAnderson #HannahEinbinder www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/teen...
Sessa's take on the nineteen year-old Bourdain is of an angry young man with a chip on his shoulder, someone overly confident in his abilities needing to be knocked down a few pegs, yet with an undeniable, surly charm... #TonyMovie #DominicSessa #AntonioBanderas www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/tony/
one of Eimbcke's biggest assets is his use of music, a soundtrack full of regional flair with a dash of rock and 'A Fifth of Beethoven' to make head-banging disco stars out of Olmo and Miguel... #Olmo www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/olmo/

If his high concept feels ripped off from "The Purge" it works here as a statement against fascistic government overreach, albeit one as playfully implemented as his pharmaceutical ad running gag, the latter more pointed in its social implications #OneNightOnly www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/one-...
#EliRoth follows up his "Thanksgiving" with dessert, but the ice cream, while tasty at first, drops off its cone and splats to the ground when it gets to the stickiness of plot mechanics. #IceCreamMan #HorrorMovies www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/ice-...
"While differing personalities, parental styles and capitalistic ambitions make for an ofttimes diverse overview, Nahmias' construction is too scattershot, her hopscotching style not thematically cogent." #CookieQueens www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/cook...
Motoki fascinates throughout, a compassionate leader with everything stacked against him while Suda remains ambiguous, his true aims yet another mystery...At the age of seventy, #KiyoshiKurosawa is expanding his range. #TheSamuraiAndThePrisoner www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/the-...
"a true to life picture of what happens when untrained officers close ranks to protect their own in situations they haven't been trained for and the almost impossible position the police officers tasked with investigating them find themselves in." #Case137 www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/case...
In a film he has declared will be his last, cowriter (with Gianni Garko)/director #AlexCox delights with his amusingly offbeat neo Western but frustrates with his very unsatisfying ending. #DeadSouls www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/dead...
#OliviaWilde appears to relish her role as the extremely sex positive dominatrix with conflicting ideas about the value of her art while an adorably shaggy, naive #CooperHoffman tests her emotional reticence." #IWantYourSex #GregAraki #Charliexcx www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/i-wa...
Destin Daniel Cretton and his charming, maturing star banish fatigue from the flagging super hero genre by combining real emotion with breathtaking action sequences while introducing a humorous new odd buddy pairing #Spider-ManBrandNewDay #TomHolland #Zendaya www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/spid...
Writer/director #HirokazuKoreeda takes on one metaphor too many in a film that recalls everything from the South Korean couple whose baby died while they raised a virtual one at an Internet cafe to Steven Spielberg's "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" #SheepintheBo www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/shee...
"McElwee has crafted an intricate exploration of memory, much of his own collected on film and digital, in a work brimming with questions, his grief and love for his son so palpable we feel his reluctance to let go" #RemakeMovie #ShermansMarch #RossMcElwee www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/rema...
With just her second feature, writer/director #DeaKulumbegashvili has created the most haunting film on women's healthcare, and more generally, rights in a patriarchal society, since "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days." #AprilMovie Streaming on Mubi today. www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/april/
Potsy Ponciroli and screenwriter Chad St. John try to make something old new again by turning a simplistic love triangle revenge actioner into a juke box musical with only a handful of recognizable dialogue...the experiment fails #MotorCity #AlanRitchson www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/moto...
30th Boston French Film Festival opener on Friday - "Writer/director Rémi Bezançon takes "Rear Window" and runs with it in a film which works largely due to the impeccable comic timing of Gilles Lellouche." #LeCrimeDu3eEtage #GillesLellouche #LaetitiaCasta www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/le-c...
