Greta (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - February 28th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Huppert’s vicious little performance is the raison d’être to give Greta a look, Huppert dominating to such a staggering degree it’s doubtful the thriller would have been even passingly worthwhile had she declined to be a part of the production.

2019 Academy Awards – Predictions

by Sara Michelle Fetters - February 23rd, 2019 - Features Oscars

Personally, I’d love to see either BlacKkKlansman, Roma or The Favourite win Best Picture, and if Bohemian Rhapsody pulls off the upset (which is VERY possible) I’ll likely scream in rage for a good solid week.

But the heart and soul of Fighting with My Family is Pugh. She’s wonderful, and I loved just how open-hearted her performance as Saraya turned out to be.

In this supposed final installment, the filmmaker has delivered in ways that are affectionately wondrous, events in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World building to an emotional knockout punch that had me holding back tears while at the same time wanting to rise to my feet and cheer.

“We wanted it to be simply, how would it be to be all alone at the Arctic surviving? And then later on, how would it be becoming alive again? There’s a big difference between surviving and being alive.”

Arctic (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - February 15th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Arctic is a fine thriller that stuck with me long after it had come to an end, its existential exploration of humanity’s will to survive under the harshest of conditions a hypnotic cinematic sojourn I’d willingly go on again at a moment’s notice.

Donnybrook (2018)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - February 15th, 2019 - Movie Reviews

Donnybrook matters because it doesn’t hesitate to speak truth to power in ways that go from unpleasant to unbearable in the blink of an eye. It is a timely parable of life’s indignities that cuts right to the marrow, its pugilistic nightmares universal in their all-encompassing emotional magnitude.
