A thoughtful, bleakly funny 1970s drama that speaks to the current moment, and is equal to the many classics that inspired it.

It’s all just really bizarre, limp copies of better films.

Beyond the film’s narrative qualities is its near-pristine craft.

Diaz’s visuals want to immerse rather than dazzle you.

If you missed the first film and never felt any real sense of loss, you can do the same here.

The film is deeply sympathetic to the impossibly difficult choices these girls face.

“OBEX” works best when it embraces its roots as a fairy tale of sorts, even as it feels rooted in its contemporary tenderness about the human condition.

Hayman and Kier have a decent enough buddy chemistry, though only a few gags use their comic talents so well that it eclipses their underwhelming roles.

An impassioned look at the struggle of families looking to survive no matter the cost. 

Lean, mean, and chimpanzee-n.
