Bloodline
Even as the film makes us feel constantly uncomfortable for siding with the devil, it undermines the simplicity of reducing either Evan or his errant quarry to devils.

Jawline
The documentary's most notable strength is how it values the young, overwhelmingly female fans of social media influencers.
-
Nekrotronic
Nekrotronic is fundamentally nonsense, but how much you'll spring for said nonsense depends entirely on your tolerance for throw-everything-at-the-wall schlock. All things considered, you may find yourself wishing you had more fun with it.

An Angel at My Table
Jane Campion's upends staid genre convention with an impressionistic approach to character, and the gorgeous new transfer showcases the film's understated beauty.
