One of the saddest passings in 2023 was that of bright young star Angus Cloud. The Euphoria star endeared himself to fans, and looked to be on the verge of breakout success. But with his overdose death in July of last year at 25-years-old, we’re left wondering about the career that might have been. If…

A film like this only comes along once a decade, if we’re lucky. All Of Us Strangers is the type of movie that allows us to feel a mix of beautiful emotions at once, and I felt a bittersweet crescendo as the credits rolled. It’s been five days since I saw it, and I still…

The concept for Cold Road is well-worn, but it does have a hook that you’d hope would elevate it. At a time where the investigations into missing and murdered Indigenous women just don’t have the manpower they deserve, inequities and racism in our justice system could have been highlighted here. It follows Tracy, who is…

In a genre where it truly feels like everything has been done before, The Childe exceeds regular expectations. It’s not particularly fresh, but the Korean thriller does offer intense performances, a gleeful B-movie subtext, and a rollicking good time.

The main question I asked myself during my screening of Mean Girls (2024) was if a musical remake of the iconic 2000s film was necessary. I’ll cut to the chase — It really isn’t. But it IS a hell of a lot of fun, and for those of us who might just need cinematic comforting,…

To say Ferrari wasn’t what I expected would be a massive understatement — But it turned out to be exactly what I needed. More a rich character drama about selfish people than a sportscar showcase, director Michael Mann deftly underscores the beautiful racing sequences by giving credence to the motivations of its well-drawn — of…

There’s something particularly disappointing about a film with big ideas and poor execution. T.I.M. asks big questions about the advancement of technology, and the dangers that may accompany it. But unfortunately, T.I.M. takes a critical eye at how relying too much on technology and its downfalls while also falling into the trap of becoming parody.…

It’s a delicate balance to make a children’s movie that appeals to both kids and their discerning parents. Wonka tries to be all things to all people, to varying results. But one thing is for certain — Timothee Chalamet makes this one worthwhile regardless. He is magnetic and endlessly charming as a young Willy Wonka,…
