Film Review – Nomadland

December 7th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Nomadland (2020) plays like a great American novel – one full of heart, compassion and empathy. It’s populated by characters who live on the fringes, who are forgotten by the rest of society but are very much interwoven into the fabric of the country. This is…

Film Review – Hillbilly Elegy

November 30th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Something went terribly wrong with Hillbilly Elegy (2020). There is too much talent in front and behind the camera to make something this overly dramatic, sappy, and emotionally empty. It plays like a satire of a movie aiming for award consideration instead of seeking an honest, authentic…

Film Review – Uncle Frank

November 25th, 2020 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Coming of age and life-changing films are a dime a dozen, but in this 2020 slump, sometimes seeing positive films can improve your mood and make you a bit happier. Uncle Frank is not all kindness and positivity, but in a roundabout way creates a validity…

Film Review – Run

November 23rd, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Being a parent is a really hard job. You spend every waking second for years (even decades) feeding, cleaning, and paying for your child. One day that child will grow up to be an adult and will set off to be their own person. The…

Film Review – Sound of Metal

November 23rd, 2020 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

If there is a film out there in the universe that may discuss or interpret an affliction that I have, I’m going to see it and judge it based on its preconceived notions and research (or lack of, *cough* Baby Driver *cough*). Sound of Metal focuses…

Film Review – Wolfwalkers

November 18th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The animated film Wolfwalkers (2020) has a striking visual palette. The colors and line work have a sketched-out aesthetic, as though characters and environments are being conjured up as the story unfolds. Look closely and you can see the construction lines – you can see the brushstrokes…

Film Review – Jungleland

November 16th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Life is not easy for brothers Stanley (Charlie Hunnam) and Lion Kaminski (Jack O’Connell). They live on the fringes of society with no other family or friends to help them. Life is an endless struggle just to get through each day. When we first meet…

Film Review – His House

November 2nd, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

His House (2020) operates on multiple levels. It’s a spooky haunted house story, an emotionally powerful character study, and a social statement on the trials and tribulations of immigration. The fact that it hits on all of these beats effectively is a testament to director…
