Black Bag 2025
A solid espionage film with a tight script and a treasure of talented performers. While the spy-thriller formula can be a bit tedious, Black Bag utilizes the conventions of the genre to tell a more Human narrative than is typically on offer from cohorts of the genre. It also has a very generous runtime & does not overstay its welcome.

Mickey 17 2025
A postmodern sci-fi film from legendary director Bong Joon Ho which operates as an indictment of Corporatism & Fanaticism with an intriguing meditation on the duality of the mind. As one would expect from the genius behind masterpieces such as Parasite or Memories of Murder, Mickey 17 is a hilarious and poignant film in the vein of Bong Joon Ho’s previous English-speaking film, Snowpiercer, and is reminiscent of classic storytellers such as Arthur C. Clarke or Kurt Vonnegut.

The Piano Lesson 2024
In his Directorial Debut, Malcolm Washington adapts the classic play by August Wilson into a truly spectacular cinematic event. Expanding on the source material to offer an experience unattainable by the stage play, Washington captures the essence of Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning tale of heritage and trauma to tremendous effect. The prominent playwright’s wit and charm are on full display as his dialogue is brought to life by an impeccable cast lead by Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, and Danielle Deadwyler. There is not a single misstep in this adaptation, and I am looking forward to Malcolm Washington’s future directorial efforts.

Nosferatu 2024
Yet another testament to the brilliance of Robert Eggers. A vivid fever dream of sensual morbidity magnificently wrought to serenade the souls of the sensibly disturbed. Invite this film into your life and consecrate a chilling & monstrous viewing experience unlike any other. Nosferatu is, without question, one of the best films I’ve seen in years. Viewer beware: when it comes to the work of Robert Eggers, you are never in safe hands.
