Don’t Come Back from the Moon (2017)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 18th, 2019 - Movie ReviewsIf I don’t love Don’t Come Back from the Moon that doesn’t mean I still didn’t find much to be intrigued by and bewitched with here, this visually elastic piece of a cinematic poetry a dramatic curiosity I’m happy I took the time to see.

Glass (2019)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 16th, 2019 - Movie ReviewsFor me, Shyamalan’s brutally self-aware conclusion to his trilogy Glass was well worth the wait, and I’ll be curious to see how this series ends up getting assessed, debated and reinterpreted over the next few years.

“Mary Queen of Scots” – Interview with Josie Rourke
by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 11th, 2019 - Interviews“If we are unsatisfied with what is happening now, one of the things we need to do is remind ourselves what happened then and to my mind particularly look back at the lives of women in politics and how they are portrayed and presented and often undermined. We need to look back and say these heinous actions and policies actually had their roots in this period.”

The Upside (2017)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 11th, 2019 - Movie ReviewsThe downside to The Upside is that there just isn’t a lot that’s positive to say about it. Burger’s remake is a waste of time and talent, this tone-deaf misfire the first bona fide disappointment of 2019.
