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.

“The Naked Gun” has a secret weapon that makes it into a comedy killing machine: Liam Neeson.

The whole thing is a little uneven, but it avoids sentimentality, perhaps the biggest trap in material involving a child.

“Harvest” can feel interminable even when a viewer is engaged with its ideas. But it does bring them to vivid, even bawdy, life. 

It feels as though we’re watching the world being undone and remade several times over throughout the course of Kossakovsky’s film.

The whole effort feels chaotic.

A film whose depth of honesty keeps it feeling refreshingly human.    

A fiendishly fun sight to behold.
