Drama
The Uprising – Film Review
The Uprising is a gritty and ambitious historical drama even if its sprawling storytelling and relentlessly kinetic filmmaking are faults.
Tony – Film Review
Tony honors Bourdain without putting him on a pedestal, which ultimately feels like the greatest compliment the film could give him.
Don’t Say Good Luck – Film Review
Don’t Say Good Luck is a heartfelt, beautifully performed, and moving musical drama, with Sunny Sandler gives the film its emotional center.
They Fight – Film Review
They Fight is a boxing drama that spends too much time pulling its punches instead of delivering the knockout it promises.
The Death of Robin Hood – Film Review
The Death of Robin Hood is a bold but uneven reimagining—thoughtful and emotionally serious, yet occasionally trapped by its own solemnity.
Power Ballad – Film Review
Power Ballad may not reach the emotional heights of John Carney’s best work, but it remains thoroughly enjoyable and emotionally satisfying.
Is God Is – Film Review
Aleshea Harris’ Is God Is is grim yet strangely beautiful, theatrical yet emotionally raw, savage yet deeply mournful.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 – Film Review
The Devil Wears Prada 2 succeeds because it understands what made the original film resonate while recognizing the need to evolve.
Michael – Film Review
Michael is a film that succeeds in celebrating the music and the myth, even as it hesitates to fully interrogate the man himself.
