Steve Jobs movie review: insanely great (LFF 2015)
You’ve never seen such a compelling, entertaining movie about a genius jerk. As smart and as sleek as a Macbook Pro, and a compulsory bit of modern history.

I guess the French really hated to see her go to New York…
Where Are the Women? Hotel Transylvania 2
The entire plot of the film is about the male protagonist attempting to police every aspect of his daughter’s life… and he is rewarded for his actions.
Hotel Transylvania 2 movie review: check out and never return
The barrage of nonstop sitcom idiocy is nigh on unendurable. A father plotting against his daughter as touching and uplifting? Way worse.
Where Are the Women? The Program
Except for extremely brief appearances by wives and girlfriends of the male characters, women are entirely absent from this film.
The Program movie review: on your bike and follow the money (LFF 2015)
Pretty much strictly for fans of Ben Foster and Chris O’Dowd, who are both superb here. Probably not for fans of Lance Armstrong (if he still has any left).
Where Are the Women? Crimson Peak
A fantastic example of how a film can integrate the “traditional” sides of women’s lives into wider depictions of their hopes, dreams, and deeds.
Crimson Peak movie review: humorous gruesome
A deliciously creepy haunted-house story. Oozes eldritch atmosphere yet plays with our genre expectations in ways that make it as funny as it is scary.

So deliciously carby…
Where Are the Women? Pan
Women here are nasty nuns, absent mothers, manic pixie princesses, or pretty mermaids, all helping a little boy on his adventures.
