Film Review – The Little Things

February 2nd, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Little Things (2021) feels like it belongs to a bygone era. It’s influenced by the mystery/thrillers of the 90s and 2000s, such as Kiss the Girls (1997) or Along Came a Spider (2001). Denzel Washington – who stars here – had his hand in the genre too, with Fallen (1998) and The…

Film Review – The White Tiger

January 29th, 2021 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Writer/director Ramin Bahrani’s The White Tiger (2021) is a pitch-black look at the harsh economic divisions of Indian society. It starts off as a dark comedy – a satire lampooning the caste system that prevents many from rising above their class standing. But as the story unfolds,…

Film Review – Promising Young Woman

January 12th, 2021 | POSTED BY Benjamin Rendall

At times hauntingly depressing, with depths of righteous anger, star Carey Mulligan and director Emerald Fennell have made something deftly original, tantalizing, and fulfilling in Promising Young Woman. Cassandra (Mulligan) is working at a coffee shop, living at home after dropping out of medical school…

Film Review – Wonder Woman 1984

December 28th, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

What makes Wonder Woman such a compelling superhero – alongside the likes of Superman and Captain America – is her earnest belief in goodness. While the world maybe full of cynicism and cruelty, she stands as a beacon of hope and compassion. Yes, she has…

Film Review – Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

December 23rd, 2020 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There’s an extended monologue deep into Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (2020) that cuts so deeply that we feel the pain sear into our hearts. Levee (Chadwick Boseman) – an ambitious, slick, and hot-tempered horn player – describes to fellow bandmembers a traumatic experience at the hands of…
