Though there are spooky moments here and there, this is no horror film but a sensitive character study about a group of people edging their way out of loss.
An impressionistic and at times powerful meditation on social alienation, masculinity, and the grappling of faith.
A dark screwball comedy set in backwoods Alabama.
Peter Sarsgaard stars as a house tuner, hired to go into the homes of the depressed, the sleep-deprived, the anxious, or all of the above, and listen deeply.
A dramedy that works better as a character study of a young woman whose bravado and endless wisecracks are an emotional defense.
If you’re looking for a poignant but somewhat straightforward (and, at times, generic) story line, this movie will give you all the catharsis you’ll need.
A packed, well-oiled vicious circle that speaks volumes and takes no prisoners.
From the get-go, director Guy Nattiv’s visceral depiction of neo-Nazi Bryon Widner’s escape from his white supremacist surrogate family demands a reaction from the audience.
