A Star Trek for our times. Very much for our times. Which means there’s little hope to be found here…

porn again? (The Look of Love review)
It’s a puzzlement. How did Michael Winterbottom make a film this tediously conservative?

My heart is so heavy after this film. So heavy with this film.

Lore (review)
Hints at a new mythology of darkness and light, of scary childhood and even scarier adolescence…
