Classy directing and immaculate performances keep A Woman's Life just lively enough that its traditional story doesn't turn soporific.
Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder delight in this smart and emotionally rewarding exploration of horror and sex.
Beautifully acted and full of warmth, Nagi Notes is a small movie of great emotions, and how difficult it is to express them.
A tremendously moving and poignant film that will make anyone a fan of the beautiful game.
The Cannes Film Festival opened with a French fantasy that doesn't stick the landing.
Cannes begins this week. Here are some of the films I'm most looking forward to during the festival.
★★★★ | A melancholy and honest story about the healing power of art from one of the current masters of the genre.
★★ | Margaret Qualley lights up the screen in a tonally messy detective-mystery-sex-romp that's missing a third act.
★★★ | Brilliant performances elevate a script that doesn't quite nail the complex themes it explores.
★★★★ | Immaculate directing and beautiful performances carry this melancholy drama from Chie Hayakawa.
★★★★ | Lea Drucker is spellbinding in an anti-procedural that depicts police corruption with terrifying results.
★★★★ | A slow burning horror film about the banality of evil that lingers in the mind long after it ends.
