Ocean’s 8 (2018)
“For once we want to be ignored.” Fun, fast, and refreshingly feminine, Ocean’s 8 thoroughly entertains while it also diminishes its own originality by relying on what preceded its path. The story […]
The Rider (2018)
“No more riding. No more rodeos.” Without relying on modern-movie magic’s epic foolery, The Rider instills in us a great sense of poetic realism. Not much happens. Even less is said by […]
