MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Best Intentions
If you've got a 10-year-old that needs a history lesson, White Bird: A Wonder Story is that lesson.
Ride or Die
Austin Butler certainly makes The Bikeriders look cool – or maybe it's the other way around.
‘Long’ Overdue
Sho Miyake delivers another thoughtful drama for adults about adults in All the Long Nights.
Family Business
For a first film with a huge shadow looming over it The Watchers isn’t bad. It’s just not great.
There be Wails Here
52-Hertz Whales takes the voiceless metaphor a bit far, but as J-melodrama goes it’s better than most.
Back in Time
Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In is the best Walled City movie since Bloodsport. Oh my.
Over the ‘Moon’
First-timer Sasha Chuk gets personal in the semi-autobiographical Fly Me to the Moon.
Sorry, Hayao
It’s not as dark ast Kitaro, but Totto-Chan tells The Boy and the Heron’s story better.
Ordinary ‘LIfe’
Anthony Hopkins makes the British Oskar Schindler into a compellign wartime hero in the otherwise honourable, but pedestrian, One Life.
Lyric Jumble
The Lyricist Wannabe will tell you why we should have a little more respect for Cantopop.
Not Over Yet
Denis Villeneuve continues his deep dive into Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic with Dune: Part Two.
A Gentle Apocalypse
What kind of apocalyptic thriller has no gunfire? Mahalia Belo’s The End We Start From kind.
In the ‘Zone’
Yes, the Holocaust really happened, and yes The Zone of Interest is as incredible as you’ve heard.
