Us movie review: a new kind of horror for a newly precarious world

Wed, Mar 20, 2019
14 comments

An anxious moan, a looming disquiet of a reckoning coming for America. This is horror as weird, funny, damning, and more disconcerting the more you think about it, finding fear right in front of us.

Five Feet Apart movie review: love/sick teen romance

Thu, Mar 14, 2019
no comments yet

Beautiful teens fall in love while dying prettily in this year’s tragic young romance, one that medical necessity renders refreshingly chaste. Best bit: Star Haley Lu Richardson is genuinely charming.

An unexpected, beautiful movie about the character and mettle it takes just to go to school when you come from one of the poorest and most remote places on the planet. A profoundly moving journey.
