James, Rhys and Joe take a look at Randall Park's directorial debut, 2023's Shortcomings - which actually is based on an Adrian Tomine comic and therefore could have been a reviewed under the old format, but that's what happens when you ask James what he wants to talk about.

America vs. Russia - it'll never get old.

Night Swim - Movie Review 7:39

6M ago7:39

7:39

It's time to welcome in 2024 with a typical horror-thriller film that isn't strong enough to release in the summer or fall. A truly interesting supernatural mythology is wasted until the film has already tested your patience and its jump scares mostly come off as silly more than scary, but the nostalgia for those who grew up with a swimming pool an…

Sean Durkin's melodramatic biopic definitely pulls some punches when it comes to the tragedy of the Von Erich family, but still manages to balance emotion and fact in a strongly impactful way. In-ring choreography feels authentic and respectful of professional wrestling while remaining entertaining, and both heartbreaking and enraging performances …

Cooper really has it as a director, presenting a mesmerizing biopic focused on the complicated relationship between Bernstein and his devoted wife Felicia. The film is almost entirely interested in the famous conductor/composer's prolific affairs with men, and spends precious little time on his career by comparison, sadly only giving us one rousing…

While full of the stunning visual style that we love about Makoto Shinkai's work, the director's attempt at blending Miyazaki-like fantasy and his typical themes of young romance and time travel don't quite coalesce. We appreciate the exploration of national grief over natural disasters and enjoy elements of the road trip journey Suzume goes on, bu…

FF+ American Fiction 9:04

7M ago9:04

9:04

Way more drama than comedy, but the satire can be biting, even if it is rendered less effective by perhaps coming too late. Sadly, it's underwhelming how all of the family issues sub-plots don't feel like they coalesce strongly with the main story point and take up most of the runtime. A solid film with strong performances but my experience with th…
