Romance
Portrait of a Lady on Fire – Film Review
Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a beautifully intimate historical romantic drama brimming with detail, and acted impeccably by Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel.
Spoiler Alert – Film Review
Spoiler Alert is an emotionally gut-wrenching romantic drama about the grief and horrors of finding out your loved one has been diagnosed with cancer. Jim Parsons and Ben Aldridge give career-best performances that are completely awards-worthy.
My Policeman – Film Review
My Policeman is a frustratingly bland adaptation of an otherwise amazing book that suffers from poor writing, weak direction, and a hugely miscast lead in Harry Styles.
Bones and All – Film Review
Disturbing, sickening, and downright thrilling, Bones and All serves as even more proof that Luca Guadagnino is one of the best filmmakers working today.
Lady Chatterley’s Lover – Film Review
Lady Chatterley’s Lover is a thinly written and frustratingly executed adaptation, with a script that feels disappointingly jumbled and featuring a color palette that’s less than pleasing to look at.
Begin Again – Film Review
Begin Again is an infectiously optimistic, feel-good musical comedy-drama brought to life by stunning performances from Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo.
Falling for Christmas – Film Review
Falling for Christmas is undoubtedly a silly, predictable holiday film, but its undying sense of wit and charm, along with its great lead performances, make this festive outing worth watching.
Enchanted – Film Review
Enchanted is an infectiously cheery and heartwarming musical fantasy romantic comedy, brought to life spectacularly by wonderful musical numbers, and an incredibly fun performance from Amy Adams.
Ticket to Paradise – Film Review
Ticket to Paradise features two charming performances from George Clooney and Julia Roberts, but the laughs and heart are lacking too often for this rom-com to shine.
Bros – Film Review
Funny although a bit by-the-book in terms of its story, Bros is a major step forward for inclusivity in media.
