“‘Black White and the Greys’ isnโt defined by its political dialogue, but rather by its handling of the human condition. And itโs arguably one of the best COVID-themed movie productions since the similarly minimalist ‘Host’ (Shudder, 2020).”
“Ultimately, ‘The Killer’ isย just a fun, pulpy romp that is more akin to the plug-and-play adventures of I.O. Interactive’s ‘Hitman’ series than a profound statement on the culture at large.”
“‘Itโs a Wonderful Knife’ is watchable but slight. And considering how popular Hallmark Christmas movies continue to be, maybe thatโs all horror fans will really expect.”
“‘Red Rooms’ย providesย a perfect recipe for isolation and alienation, encouraged by a media world around us that seeks only to capture attention and never thoughts.”
“‘The End We Start From’ย falls short of being a meaningful observation on the perils of climate injustice, but the filmย succeeds as an embodiment of maternal commitment, largely due to Comerโs wonderfully present performance.”
“There is no one better at channelling the multi-faceted force of joy than Binoche, whose entrancing performance grounds ‘The Taste of Things’ in its gentle tragedy.”
“A distinctly Ghibli feel pervades ‘The Boy and the Heron,’ which more comprehensively and ambitiously connects the studioโs interests than ever before — in whimsy and poignancy, struggle and adventure, the serious and the magical.”
