Love Redux: ‘Marriage Story,’ Reviewed
|
From start to finish, Baumbach’s direction and writing are almost flawless; the smoothness of the screenplay and its dialogue belie how harrowing the events depicted actually are, not only for the characters but also for the audience.

‘Ford v Ferrari’ — Out of Harmony but Worthwhile
|
If we can learn one thing from the story of Ken Miles, it is not to run from that which calls us. That even if we cannot hope to run every lap perfectly, meaning can be found in the attempt.

‘Hustlers’ Falls Short Despite Impeccable Cast
|
I really wanted to love this movie. Filled to the brim with some of the most iconic names in the music industry and Hollywood (perhaps too many — was Usher’s cameo really necessary?), I expected nothing but great things from this eclectic, glittery premiere. I was eager to dive straight into the world of strip clubs and pole dancing, and while the first 10 minutes succeeded in whetting my palate, I quickly lost interest and fell more and more confused as every minute passed. It seemed like with every new scene there was another storyline to be explored that was never truly followed up on. What resulted was a chaotic mish-mosh of blurry flashbacks and awkward cuts to the present-day.

One of the criticisms levied at the overuse of violence, but honestly I find this to be incredibly lazy. It’s a mob movie — what exactly were you expecting?

‘Jojo Rabbit’: Surprisingly Sweet
|
Just keep going. That’s the message here, not that Nazis are funny or that children are incapable of emotional complexity but that in the darkest of nights all we can do is to do what we can. Come what may but love conquers all.
