Alison Brie Shines in ‘Sleeping with Other People’

By Josh Slater-Williams on September 9, 2015 • ( 1 Comment )

“Headland’s screenplay fires a couple of blanks, which serves to only highlight some of the more token traditional rom-com tropes still on offer here. That said, when Sleeping with Other People does hit — which is a lot of the time — it’s an invigorating spicing up of formula; a winning balance of hedonism and heart that’s unapologetic about either quality.”

A Weekly Column by Dylan Moses Griffin

Review: Bob Byington’s ‘7 Chinese Brothers’

By Jordan Brooks on September 4, 2015

“While framed as a film about learning some great lesson about life and happiness, 7 Chinese Brothers never really builds from this assumed groundwork.”

Review: Alex Ross Perry’s ‘Queen of Earth’

By Jordan Brooks on September 2, 2015

“An intimate character study of a shifting, indefinable character, Queen of Earth pushes the already exceptionally talented Elisabeth Moss to new levels of intense frenzy and naked emotion.”

An Abrupt Ending: Hannibal ‘The Wrath of the Lamb’ (Recap)

By Max Bledstein on August 31, 2015

“If The Wrath of the Lamb doesn’t quite work as a series finale, it’s only because it wasn’t really supposed to be one.”

VOD Review: Jonas Alexander Arnby’s ‘When Animals Dream’

By Josh Slater-Williams on August 25, 2015 • ( 1 Comment )

“This recurring theme of women fighting against their suppression and abuse at the hands of men who fear them, despise them, or sometimes both, is by far the most interesting aspect of When Animals Dream.”

By Justine Peres Smith on August 24, 2015

Review: Sarah Violet-Bliss and Charles Rogers’ ‘Fort Tilden’

By Jordan Brooks on August 19, 2015

“A refreshing and dryly-hilarious glimpse into life at a certain time in a certain place, Fort Tilden brilliantly captures the “struggles” of two women who are uncertain of their roles in life.”
