VERDICT A gorgeous meditation on the nature of love, Portrait of a Lady on Fire showcases the beauty, heartbreak, and power behind the intimacy we seek. Even more, it indulges in the energy and joy present in the love, of any form, between women. Céline Sciamma has crafted something truly special here. See it immediately. […]

VERDICT Greta Gerwig has delivered something incredible here. The cast, Gerwig’s story, and the visuals are all top of their class. See this one immediately.

VERDICT With the leads split up and the plot meandering between more interesting throw away concepts, the sequel is incapable of delivering what the first movie did. Catch it on streaming only if you loved the first one. REVIEW Somewhere in Mistress of Evil, buried so deep down that you can barely see it, is […]

VERDICT Depending on where you’re sitting, the admittedly-incredible “de-aging” tech used with Will Smith is either game changing or apocalyptic. That’s all there really is to talk about with this quagmire of a film. I’m sure there are worse ways to spend 2 hours than if you happen to catch it on streaming or a […]
