Equals (2015)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 7th, 2016 - Blu-ray and DVDEquals looks terrific, and the acting is superb, but the execution is just a little bit off, making the film an emotionally stilted curiosity and sadly not all that much more than that.

The 9th Life of Louis Drax (2016)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 2nd, 2016 - Movie ReviewsI can’t see anyone shrugging their shoulders in aloof indifference after watching The 9th Life of Louis Drax. Some will love it, others will hate it with a poisonous passion that will defy belief, but few, if any, will walk out of the theatre thinking it was only okay.

Complete Unknown (2016)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 2nd, 2016 - Movie ReviewsOffering up plenty of food for thought, I find Complete Unknown to be one I’m eager to sink my teeth into again, the line between fantasy and reality an ever-blurring wonderland where truth can be an illusion, and impersonation is often anything other than a lie.

The Light Between Oceans (2016)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 2nd, 2016 - Movie ReviewsLike the waves assaulting Tom and Isabel’s lighthouse, there was a constant war being waged for my affections here, and reservations notwithstanding I’m hard-pressed not to say that The Light Between Oceans deservedly ends up earning them.

Mechanic: Resurrection (2016)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 2nd, 2016 - Movie ReviewsMoving at a breakneck pace, filled with some inventive set pieces and a few nicely staged run-and-gun action beats, Mechanic: Resurrection utilizes Statham’s steely masculinity quite nicely, and as such ends up being far easier to watch than it likely has any right to be.

Morgan (2016)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 2nd, 2016 - Movie ReviewsMorgan has its moments, just not enough of them to make up for its ample shortcomings, all of which results in a thriller that doesn’t thrill and a mystery few are going to care to learn the resolution of.

“Southside with You” – Interview with Richard Tanne
by Sara Michelle Fetters - September 1st, 2016 - Film Festivals Interviews“We know where Barack and Michelle are heading. We know what this spark is going to turn into. For me, that spark, that idea, it gave the story a richness that a fictionalized love story maybe couldn’t have had.”

Don’t Breathe (2016)
by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 26th, 2016 - Movie ReviewsThere is no letup to Don’t Breathe’s second half, the whole thing a white knuckle train of bloodshed that just gets more disturbing and destructive as things go on. It all culminates in a series of captures and escapes that are bone crunching in their primeval intensity, the level of agitation attained throughout the final minutes extraordinary.
