A River Runs Through It (1992)
“Someday, when you’re ready, you might tell our family story. Only then will you understand what happened and why.” Few films reflect on the mystery and the majesty of life […]
Nope (2022)
“It was a spectacle. People are just obsessed.” Nope isn’t a film directly about religion, but ultimately is one about faith and belief, and it begins with an Old Testament quote […]

I Want You Back (2022)
“I kind of can’t believe it worked.” It’s damn near impossible to make a timeless romantic comedy these days. The genre has almost been entirely relegated to the wastelands of […]
Jackass Forever (2022)
“20 years later, we’re still doing the same stupid shit.” Steeped in nostalgia and shit and jizz (yes, I mean that quite literally), Jackass Forever is a warm welcome back […]
