The Souvenir (2019)
"It is one of those films where you feel like a fly on the wall, observing the lives of people and unsure whether it is appropriate to be there. "

4/4
Mildred Pierce (1945)
Joan Crawford shines in the role of Mildred; a hard-working, pie making, shoulder pad wearing and determined mother.

Strangers on a Train (1951)
"Is there even a more ideal place to hatch a murder, than a train? Easily one of my favorite Hitch flicks!"

On the Basis of Sex (2019)
I just wish that the movie had taken a more unconventional approach to the story of this still-unconventional woman.

Mary Queen of Scots (2018)
The story is disjointed, but from what I gathered, the life of a Queen, just plain sucks... except maybe for the wig selection.

When the world is crashing to an end, I'd like Emily Blunt by my side.

American Made (2017)
The use of Tommy C's winning smile, reminiscent from his Risky Business days, is about the only thing this movie got right for me.

The Favourite (2018)
Yorgos is back with his expected brand of eccentric and original film making. One of my favourite flicks of the year!

Maria By Callas (2018)
It's a movie that is perhaps best watched with a biography of Callas open on your lap, or with the Wikipedia entry on her life open in a separate window.

Green Book (2018)
The perfect comfort film to take your racist uncle too, cause heck, even if they are a closed-minded ass, being a racist can still be...funny?

"The Great Buster was a meandering and jumbled story that didn't do this cinematic genius justice."

The Devil Bat (1940)
With the assistance of his trusty bats Beyyyla sets out to take revenge on his megalomaniac corporate employer. Need I say more?

Logan is the film that Wolverine so rightfully deserved.

Brigsby Bear (2017)
Not enjoying the film Brigsby Bear, probably means as a child you were the Biff Tannen of your school and totally deserve to be smothered in manure.

Unicorn Store (2019)
Unicorn Store is a reminder of why it is important for ladies to tell stories.

A Cure For Wellness (2017)
The cinematographer may have gotten some great material for his reel... for the rest of us, it is a two plus hour long waste of time.

Blindspotting (2018)
The story explodes on screen and it is hard not to feel its effects.

Sierra Burgess Is a Loser (2018)
Despite an honest, tender lead performance from Shannon Purser, too many elements of Sierra Burgess leave such an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

The Bookshop (2018)
And so I have to wonder: in a world with basically unlimited entertainment options, with multiple projects in every conceivable genre, who is The Bookshop even for?

Custody (Jusqu'à la garde) (2018)
While the performances in Custody are all strong, relative newcomer Thomas Gioria runs away with the movie.

Love, Cecil (2018)
There are hints of brilliance in how the documentary is constructed... It's unfortunate that the way Love, Cecil is paced, then, means that it's easy for your mind to wander.
