Film-Forward
Belushi
Director R.J. Cutler assembles a poignant, loving, and (of course) funny tribute, based on the oral biography of the same name.
Sound of Metal
Simply put, this is a moving film with a riveting lead performance by Riz Ahmed.
Let Him Go
Director/writer Thomas Bezucha expertly and deftly teases out the tension, priming the audience for the inevitable bloody climax.
Koko-di Koko-da
An odd horror film that puts David Lynch, Rob Zombie, and Groundhog Day through a blender to produce a grim parable.
David Byrne’s American Utopia
This highly choreographed concert features Byrne as an elder statesman of rock, with a relaxed and genial presence.
The Trial of the Chicago 7
The courtroom drama is definitely enjoyable, a smooth ride filled with standout performances and snappy dialogue, but it is also somewhat one-dimensional and flat.
The Antenna
Its finale can only be described as Terry Gilliam meets David Cronenberg.
