“Strange Harvest” maintains an air of abject horror, even if it’s penchant for ease nudges focus out of the way.

It hums with the emotion and vibrancy of Jeff Buckley’s music.

Scott Thomas adds distracting details that never pay off in revealing character or moving the story forward.

In short, it’s incredibly fun.

It’s not every day that a film reminds you of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia” and George A. Romero’s “The Crazies” but Zach Cregger doesn’t make everyday movies.

Art is so powerful, a magic force that can transform you from the inside out. “Sketch” is a beautiful ode to that power in its many forms.

“The Pickup” is as generic and forgettable as its title.

It’s a disturbing, sometimes beautiful film that, by the end, is disquieting for all the wrong reasons.

With nowhere else to go, “My Oxford Year” wears out its charm with a half-hearted end.

In stripping down the Red Riding Hood fable to more terrestrial environs, “To Kill a Wolf” finds stronger, more nuanced ways to sell the simmering psychology of its original fable.
