Girlhood and Honeytrap movie(s) review: mean girl streets
Two films about poor black teen girls offer harrowing — and very universal — portraits of how our culture tries to crush the spirit out of all girls.
A Little Chaos movie review: necessary fantasy
Romantic and funny and smart and wise and just plain different. This is a historical costume dramedy romp about gardening. How cool is that?
Dior and I documentary review: haute couture undressed
A completely fascinating peek inside a legendary fashion house where the demands of business and art clash in interesting ways.
Eastern Boys movie review: pretty boy
Repugnant drama about the tender relationship between a man who pays for sex and the boy he hires. At least Pretty Woman pretended to be a fairy tale.
My Old Lady movie review (London Film Festival)
A bitterly funny pas de trois character dramedy performed by three compulsively watchable actors.
Mood Indigo movie review: mood disrupted
Delightfully bonkers stop-motion vacuumpunk madness comes to an abrupt halt in this mysteriously truncated version of Michel Gondry’s latest romantic whimsy.
