reviews

I’d be sputtering with rage, except that I’m totally exhausted from raging for the last seven years. For ‘Taxi to the Dark Side’ is an infuriating film in so many ways that I can barely make myself coherent.

I hate to say this — partly because I don’t want it to be true and partly because it’s such a terrible pun — but could the zombie movie finally be dead?

Recipient of numerous film festival awards and praised by mental health experts for its authentic and humanistic portrayal of schizophrenia, this modest film is a must-see for its honesty and its fine, graceful performances.

There’s a reason why we don’t often see the black comedy combined with the romantic comedy: it rarely works.

I’m so tired of hearing myself complaining about these movies that I may just give it up.

If you’re expecting more of the gorgeous, ugly luminosity of 2002’s ‘City of God’ — Fernando Meirelles’s astonishing film about life in the desperate slums of Brazil — don’t: you’ll only set yourself up for disappointment.
