Your decision to see this film or not might depend on attention span and patience. “Do you remember what you said you would do after Ruth died?”. That’s just one of the […]
Delusion is sometimes shared—even among a whole crowd of people—but it’s seldom perpetuated in one individual by everyone around her, as in this film, Marguerite (performed expertly by Catherine Frot). Marguerite’s husband, Georges (Marcon) is convinced that it would kill her to learn the truth—that is, that she sings noticeably off key. And it’s astounding
There is a reason this movie looks and feels like it was made in 2012, because it was. It was shelved because it’s a piece of crap.

People look for all kinds of ways to heal their grief and disappointments in life. In this film, Paul (Galecki) is grieving deep down over the loss of his fiancé, although not really dealing with it. Finally, some advertisement for a “Master Cleanse” (“Let’s get pure” is its message) gets his attention, and he ambivalently
Hello, My Name is Doris is that rare film that combines everything you hope for in a festival that is supposed to deliver on groundbreaking cinema and individuality. This marks two time Oscar winner Sally Field’s return to lead status in a long time. Recently nominated for her supporting turn in Lincoln, this film sends
Autopilot, that’s not just what Tris (Woodley) uses when she steals a flying machine from the new villain of the series. It’s also what happens when these teen-based, sci-fi fantasy saga’s make so much money, that the creativity fly’s out the window the exact same time the money pours in. For those who haven’t read
