Foxtrot (2017)
“These are your demons talking.” Radically simple with its plot and emotionally exhausting with its tee-tottering tone, Foxtrot is a film which I don’t think I would advise others to revisit […]
Life of the Party (2018)
“This is not helping our process.” About 15 minutes too long, full of a few characters/scenes which truly don’t matter, and too inconsistent with its laughs – a symptom that […]

“A man who’s living in a world that’s not made for him.” There’s something to be said for the moniker by which we all recall the appropriately billed “8th Wonder […]
Gemini (2018)
“You’re the one who remembers things.” Unknowingly retailing itself as a cheap alternative and derivative take on the classic noir genre, Gemini has all of the right looks and hardly any of […]
