Los Cabos IFF Review: Kenneth Lonergan’s ‘Manchester by the Sea’
“‘Manchester by the Sea’ advocates for change in a movie where nobody can.”
“‘Manchester by the Sea’ advocates for change in a movie where nobody can.”
“Portman’s vivid portrayal is the film’s greatest strength, coasting through woebegone New England accents and the script’s on-the-nose airing of themes in the final act.”
“‘A Quiet Passion’ is at its best when its silence is broken by images, not words.”
“This portrait of an aging artist engages with and refuses the idea that artistic and social isolation is anything but selfish.”
“Jamming its artistic support into the final few moments, ‘Mascots’ just checks off boxes.”
“It’s a savvy marketing strategy for extremely capitalist comedy, but the Shlesinger routine never amounts to anything more pleasant than being stuck sharing a cab with someone that seemed much more interesting several hours and drinks ago.”
“For all Cedric’s struggling against modernity, I can’t help but think Harambe would’ve improved this bit.”
“The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards have helped shake up the industry with its most explicitly progressive and comedic self-congratulating.”
“‘Galaxy Quest’ remains great as a testament to sci-fi filmmaking, television and reverence to ‘Star Trek’ as a fandom phenomenon which can only be understood and engaged with via postmodern means.”
“Similar to the audience polarization of other onenote comics (like Ricky Gervais), Cross’ locked, angry views overwhelm his substantial wit.”
