Director Peter Strickland cribs quite a bit from Dario Argento, tossed with some David Lynch for good measure, and wraps his film up in a pair of kitchen-sink dramas
Director Stephan Elliott’s response to The Ice Storm, which is essentially finding the funny in middle-class disillusionment.
What works as humorous, contemporary social commentary is overwhelmed with subplots that suck all the substance from the film.
A dark, deadpan, satirical film in which the resentments fester slowly while the director steadily turns up the heat.
A haphazard journey to self-actualization.
The writer-director team of Juno and Young Adult are back again, this time with a contemplation on the ups and downs of motherhood and the disillusionment of middle age.
Accessible and droll, and with his signature retro look and sensibility, The Other Side of Hope is a good introduction to the Aki Kaurismäki’s work
A black comedy of revenge and a comedy of anger.
