Wendy (2020)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 23rd, 2020 - Movie Reviews

Wendy isn’t a modern spin on a classic tale of fantasy and wonder, it’s an outright nightmare I never want to think about ever again.

The Whistlers (2019)

The final cry The Whistlers makes is one of forgiveness and grace, the unspoken connective pull of human understanding impossible to resist.

V: The Final Battle (1984) (Blu-ray)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 15th, 2020 - Blu-ray and DVD

V: The Final Battle is worth a look. While undeniably somewhat disappointing, it’s still a fun bit of retro television science fiction that sometimes takes some fairly shocking narrative risks that were well ahead of their time.

Trolls World Tour (2020)

Trolls World Tour rarely allowed me to catch my breath. It even more seldomly put anything that was happening into coherent perspective.

Just Mercy (2019) (Blu-ray)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 7th, 2020 - Blu-ray and DVD

Just Mercy is a good film. Destin Daniel Cretton does a fine job balancing the many dramatic dynamics of his film, rarely allowing the proceedings to dip too far into maudlin melodrama or schmaltzy cliché, while at the same time Jaimie Foxx delivers one of the best performances of his Oscar-winning career.

Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - April 3rd, 2020 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a magnificent piece of culturally observational storytelling that is purposefully raw in its depictions of female friendships in the face of extreme physical and emotional crisis.
