    The Dutchman

    ★★★½

    Rating: 7.6
    Overall, a pretty good thriller that emulates the original play source material to discuss race relations in America, carried by André Holland's performance; However, because the original play is only one act, the movie feels dragged out as they attempt to stall for time to make the movie longer than it needs to be.

  • On Swift Horses

    On Swift Horses

    ★★½

    Rating: 5.4
    Overall, a lackluster, Oscar-bait period drama that is about characters exploring their sexuality in a time when it's taboo, but the movie does so in a surface-level way that provides no nuance to the issue and gives you no material to really care about these characters.

    Overall, a great follow-up to 'Shrek' that is a classic in its own right as it does a great job in building where they left off and being a great satire on fairy-tales and pop-culture from the time.

    Overall, an "I Think You Should Leave" sketch, if it were 97 minutes long and shot by an auteur; this movie uses such a simple idea, like a friends breaking up, but dramatizes it so heavily and shoots it like a P.T. Anderson movie that it becomes the perfect parody; all brought together by Tim Robinson's cringe comedic style.
