    Borderline

    ★★

    Shameless Samara Weaving bait. She's virtually given nothing to do in the film, and the plot threads are half baked. The sheer amount of Ray Nicholson head shots trying so desperately to convince the audience that his overacting is on another level, is a complete sham.

  • The Parenting

    The Parenting

    ★★★½

    One of the more gleefully entertaining horror comedies that's been released in awhile. Most of this movie is firing on all cylinders until one of the most egregious exposition dumps that kills all signs of momentum. It comes back around for the finale, but it feels like they put next-to-no effort into the third act.

    How to Have Sex

    ★★★★½

    Soft spoken naturalistic depiction of a reality that is completely heartbreaking. There’s an authenticity and rawness that makes this hard to watch knowing that the events are looming, but it’s captured with care and nuance. Completely taken aback by how much emotion is packed in the final scene with minimal dialogue.

    Fallen Leaves

    ★½

    There is no pulse here; not a single sign of life. In deadpan fashion, everyone behaves like an NPC, but there's no weight behind it. The editing is god awful with the camera lingering in virtually every scene, to fill time. Ironically, much like The Dead Don't Die, which is directly referenced, the script isn't sharp enough to facilitate how this was executed.
