The Road Up (2020)
There are many aspects of Cara, including placement, but the film wisely focuses on the most dynamic.

The Sounding (2020)
The Sounding might have worked better as a theater piece - which is how it began - than as a film, where its excessive quirkiness feels all the more glaring.

The Opening Act (2020)
Lacking tangible emotional depth, and, frankly, much laugh-out-loud humor at all, The Opening Act is surprisingly underdeveloped for an intimate story about ambition and sacrifice.

2 Hearts (2020)
This is the sort of film for which the term "tearjerker" was invented, but this one jerks them so violently you may need medical attention afterwards.

Rebecca (2020)
The evidence is particularly scant here that the director in any way connects with his material.
Posted Oct 15, 2020

Nasrin (2020)
A good enough film, but an extraordinary up-close document.

Greenland (2020)
The gritty verisimilitude that the star and director Ric Roman Waugh bring to the table goes a long way in making this B-level blockbuster a timely and guilty pleasure.
Posted Oct 14, 2020
15
Ultraviolence (2020)
Ultraviolence is only a small contribution to a huge ongoing debate, but these unresolved tales of injustice deserve to be amplified and interrogated...

Yippee-ki-nay.
Posted Oct 9, 2020

The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020)
Satisfying enough as a horror/slasher flick with a black-comedy aftertaste, it has some commercial appeal but doesn't represent a step forward artistically.

A warm portrait that poses ever-urgent questions.

Time After Time (1979)
Such a scrambling of fact, fiction and imagination in itself deserves back-patting and, for the most part, the rendering is as delightful as the basic idea.
Posted Sep 30, 2020

It feels more like a sampling of moods and themes than a full-fledged narrative. Still, certain moments linger in your mind...
