    Certain Women

    ★★★

    If all of Certain Women were an extended version of the story that features Lily Gladstone, it would probably be a great film. Gladstone delivers an outstanding subtle performance of loneliness and longing. Gladstone, her character's story, and the understated direction of the film have a powerful synergy. The other two leads (Laura Dern and Michelle Williams) are also good, but their sections of the film are much less impactful.

    The Night of the Hunter

    ★★½

    The Night of the Hunter has a good amount of things working against its outstanding cinematography. Bad child actors who are central to the plot. A villain who is pure evil in such a blatant and occasionally goofy way that it makes parts of the plot nonsensical. Jarring tonal shifts that do not work well. The film is full of beautiful shadowy compositions though - the underwater scene is incredible.

    ★★★★

    A direct yet measured portrait of colonial arrogance, denial, and decay. Beautifully shot with a strong score that enhances the ominous mood. Isabelle Huppert is excellent.
