What comes through in “Life is Short” is the affection for its subject from pretty much everyone he’s ever worked with.

By maintaining a clearer focus on the past, “Cold War 1994” winningly clarifies the filmmakers’ concerns with their industry’s defining stagnation and uncertain future.

An armade of amateur snake hunters descend on the Florida Everglades to kill pythons for money. What could possibly go wrong?

The film is almost too reverent toward Goodman, dousing her work with such encomium that it becomes hard to access her work. 

A brilliantly acted, if too insistently heartwarming drama about broken people healing themselves.

A flat rendering of its jagged proposal.

Moore and Birney’s performances rely on a brave commitment to explore every uncomfortable facet of their characters.

The more “Affection” explains itself, the less sympathetic it becomes.

Don’t get it twisted: This is Eilish’s show, and she knocks it out of the park.

It is accessible enough for younger viewers without condescending to them, yet complex enough to engage an adult audience.
