Love Lies Bleeding is the first truly great film of 2024.
There is nothing kind about writer-director Teresa Sutherland’s haunting suspense yarn Lovely, Dark, and Deep.
To say Contagion hits differently in 2024 than it did in 2011 is an obvious understatement.
“I hope that there’s a playfulness that people find in the movie, and that that at least can take them through the end of the night.”

What’s remarkable about Drive-Away Dolls is how it is built on a foundation of intoxicating wholesomeness. Sure, people get beaten up, shot, and even beheaded, but that never changes how agreeably charming events turn out to be.
Lights Out is a waste of time.
Out of the Darkness shines a light on modern troubles, and by dipping into the past, the film asks the audience to consider how tenuous and uncertain humanity’s future survival truly is.
Argylle is exhausting.
I.S.S. asks several troubling and unpleasant questions, and the film refuses to make things easy on the audience by smothering them in obvious or easy answers.
