Gentle dramedy about a massage therapist who suddenly can’t stand to touch anyone… and about how we all need more care and attention than we get.

Only Lovers Left Alive movie review: full-blooded

I want to crawl inside this movie and curl up in its lap and stay there forever. This movie is so languid and so uncoerced. I want to keep it a secret and let everyone know about it at the same time.

Elegantly updates the King of All Monsters for the 21st century… but Hollywood’s tedious myopia means the movie as a whole isn’t quite so beautiful.

This documentary portrait of abortion doctors in America looks at those who do important, compassionate work, but isn’t as engaging as it should be.
