Searching (2018)
“We are gonna figure this out together.” Searching is a family film, just not one in the traditional sense. As it reflects the growing anonymity of the internet age and […]
Mac and Me (1988)
“Just trust them.” There was something so strange about revisiting Mac and Me so many years later. I spent nearly 20 minutes rewinding the old, used, grainy VHS tape; as a […]
Support the Girls (2018)

Crazy Rich Asians (2018)
“Pursuing one’s passion…how American.” Crazy Rich Asians breaks barriers. It’s compelling, it’s heartbreaking and is even hilarious in turns. But most importantly, it’s just a flat-out excellent film. This is […]
