How to Survive a Plague (2012)

How to Survive a Plague is sensational, and without a doubt France’s debut is one of the more profoundly inspiring motion pictures I’ve seen this year.

Wuthering Heights (2011)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - October 5th, 2012 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

From the vast landscapes to the creases lurking at the corner of a person’s smile, all of it matters, the internal intricacies of the human condition revealed in visual layers that continually caught me by surprise.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 21st, 2012 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

I’m not entirely sure I’ve felt more kinship with a motion picture in recent memory than I have with screenwriter and director Stephen Chbosky’s stunning adaption of his own 1999 novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The Master (2012)

Anderson’s Master an Enchanting Intellectual Banquet Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master isn’t an easy sit. Its themes are all over the map, and what it’s talking about is purposefully vague. Most notably, it’s never a certainty whose story it is telling, three primary characters all competing for screen time with two of them sharing numerous […]

Margaret (2011)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 27th, 2012 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

Had I seen Margaret in 2011 it would have likely been number two or three on my list of the best films of the year. Lonergan beat me up, assaulted me, stripped me bare and left all my expectations of self on the theatre floor for all to see.

Beauty and the Beast 3-D (1991)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 13th, 2012 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

The movie doesn’t need to be in 3-D, and I can’t say the process adds or subtracts anything one way or the other. But the bottom line is that Beauty and the Beast, as good as it looks on Blu-ray, as superbly as it plays at home, deserves to be seen in a movie theatre.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011)

by Sara Michelle Fetters - January 13th, 2012 - Four-Star Corner Movie Reviews

I won’t say Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is perfect but I will say I adored and loved it with all my being nonetheless. This is the type of film that might take a while to catch on with the masses, might need more years to marinate in the psyche before it breaks through as the instant classic I suspect it might be, my euphoria for Daldry’s latest virtually without end.
