    Adolescence

    ★★★★

    Should become essential curriculum viewing in every high school.

  • The Night of the Hunter

    The Night of the Hunter

    ★★★★

    Strangely wonderful and disturbing, narratively ambiguous, and beautifully shot with moments of almost fairytale surrealism.

    Longlegs

    ★★★½

    Despite being aesthetically stunning, and with a disconnectedly fantastic performance from Maika Monroe, Longlegs struggles at times to get the balance right between factual police procedural and uneasy abstract horror.

    Nic Cage successfully walks the taut line of chilling and comedic for the most part, and Kieran Shipka's tight close up demi- monologue is disturbingly outstanding, but the narrative imbalance impacts on both the characters, and the storytelling potential.

  • Godzilla Minus One

    Godzilla Minus One

    ★★★★

    A stunning real world study of a nation's grief, guilt, and PTSD through the fantastical lense of impending kaiju attacks.
    With more than an nod to Speilberg's shark hunting character driven masterpiece, Minus One roars head, shoulders, and spiky radioactive tail above any of the recent Hollywood attempts to tell a Godzilla story.
