Review | OPHELIA
Reminiscent of a child flatly stating "I told you so!", the final coda of Ophelia feels as if it's delivered from up on a pedestal, speaking down to all of us who perhaps needed a lesson or two. Now, I don't mean the climax,

Review | WEREWOLF NINJA PHILOSOPHER
You don't go into a movie called Werewolf Ninja Philosopher expecting... well, with any expectations, really. It's almost an uncharted territory kind of thing, where even the trailer and synopsis doesn't (and shouldn't) prepare you for the viewing you'll be

Review | 24 FRAMES
It's a personal shame of mine that I've taken so long to watch an Abbas Kiarostami film. Some of his movies are in my Fandor queue and I've read nothing but glowing recommendations from others. Blame the over-saturation of available media or blame my
The 2018 GNO Film Fete - Recommendation Roundup

Review | THEY REMAIN
Truly "Lovecraftian" cinema - movies which express the tone and atmosphere of H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror work - can be difficult to find at their most effective and evocative. Unkown unknowns (things we don't know that we don't know) don'
