The Samurai and the Prisoner 0

The Samurai and the Prisoner

Kurosawa has made one of his best films, a work that feels a bit like Agatha Christie, a bit like Shakespeare, and even a bit like Samurai Columbo.

Her Private Hell

“Her Private Hell” feels like someone trying to rekindle a fire that went out years ago, unable to find the flame.

Fjord 0

Fjord

A movie that challenges viewers with a question that seems harder to answer than it should: Would you protect the rights of someone with whom you fundamentally disagreed?

Hope

This bloody, motoring adventure relishes the unease it places on the audience.

Hope

This bloody, motoring adventure relishes the unease it places on the audience, lulling one into a classic heroic Western before morphing into a surprising creature feature.

Propeller One-Way Night Coach

It’s a gift that Travolta made for himself and family, something he likely wanted to leave as a part of his legacy. That doesn’t make it a good movie.

Obsession

Emotionally and in terms of gore, “Obsession” is quite messy, splattering blood and bad vibes all over every available surface.

Magic Hour 0

Magic Hour

A well-meaning but rather thin and gimmicky meditation on grief and loss.
