  • A Complete Unknown

    A Complete Unknown

    ★★★★

    Framed as a story of a man unwilling to relinquish control of both his life and career, A Complete Unknown compellingly captures Dylan at crossroads—torn between his folk roots and his countercultural instincts. While I feared that this film would feel like an elaborate game of “dress-up,” Mangold’s thoughtful direction ensures a worthwhile and engaging experience.

  • Holes

    Holes

    ★★★½

    Holes is a charming, digestible version of Shawshank Redemption for younger audiences but most narrative momentum is thwarted by incessant flashbacks replete with hokey music and performances.

    Adam Devine: Best Time of Our Lives

    ★★

    Mostly stupid humor that occasionally draws laughs. This cemented the fact that Devine is more enjoyable in a movie/tv setting.

  • The Straight Story

    The Straight Story

    ★★★★½

    Easily Lynch’s most accessible film, The Straight Story is devoid of any strange performances or surrealistic dreamscapes. Instead, this film gives a sentimental look at small town living as a stubborn elderly man is forced to confront his own mortality. A touching reflection on the importance of kindness and connection.
