    Sibil using flashcards to test her son in French is giving me flashbacks to preparing for my high school Latin exams.

    Time is an incredible documentary from Garrett Bradley exploring the malleability of that very concept. There's nothing linear about the film as it shuffles between past home footage captured by Sibil Fox Richardson and recordings shot by Bradley in the present day.

    For as thankfully progressive as the filmmaking industry…

    Guys, the government isn't spying on us. They're just really fond of public benches and wanna have a closer look. Is that so wrong?

    Steven "Retirement My Ass" Soderbergh doing what he does best, i.e. infusing every type of genre with assured sleekness, a fierce command over his camerawork and a tightness of the script that is simple yet effective.

    It's a homecoming for Soderbergh's two star players as he reunites with Cate Blanchett from The Good German (one of…
