    Maria

    Maria is a remarkable film led by a transcendent performance from Angelina Jolie. Pablo Larraín’s portrait trilogy will be studied and examined for years to come. Each film operating as tragic fables illustrating grand figures as life sized, complex, and haunted human beings. So much sincerity and love crafted in every frame. Like Jackie & Spencer, Maria will live with you long after the credits roll.

    A Complete Unknown

    Similar to Bob Dylan, this movie subverts expectations in every way and elevates a familiar genre. What an incredible film helmed by a towering performance from Timothée Chalamet.

    The moment this film starts and the overture swells over you, there is an instant feeling that you are about to embark on a monumental journey. The film does not let you go from that moment on ultimately making a 3h 34m movie fly by.

    That being said, I think this film is brilliantly crafted in every way! Eggers remarkably expands his artistry in bold ways while maintaining his core sensibilities with every film he directs. It’s quite impressive. The moment this film starts it envelopes you…
