MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Time, and Time Again
First Kiss sends Takako Matsu back in time to save her marriage in yet another time-bending romance.
In the Moment
We Live in Time is standard romantic tearjerker fare. But at least it has Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.
Rough Ride
Well, at least The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is just one film.
Reality Bites
Love in the Big City will make you want a do-over with your best LGBTQ+ pal.
Up and Away
Fan fiction? An Il Mare riff? Suicide jokes? A Balloon’s Landing is just weird and ballsy enough to be enjoyable.
Sweetbitter
Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki’s absurd rom-com Fallen Leaves is a love it or hate it affair.
Yes, ‘Guy’!
David Leitch, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt seriously go boom, in the best way, in The Fall Guy.
Get the Gauze
Ado-rom! That’s it. 18x2 Beyond Youthful Days is a better adolescent romance than most.
‘Pot’ of Gold
Whatever you do, don’t see The Pot-au-Feu hungry, or with a touch of wanderlust.
Haynes Code
The real masterstroke of Todd Haynes’ May December is making a woman who groomed a teen compelling.
Vive la France?
Coup de Chance is a Woody Allen movie. I don’t think any other details are required.
Adulting 101
Léa Seydoux is an absolute star in Mia Hansen-Løve’s sexy, smart, mid-life drama, One Fine Morning.
