reviews about films and shorts
Wind Rises, The (Japanese Animation)
As much as Miyazaki likes to trail off into the land of dreams, The Wind Rises is a biopic through and through.
White Reindeer (American Film)
A bittersweet dark comedy about a woman trying to side-step the overwhelming grief of losing her husband.
Grande Bellezza, La
The Great Beauty presents us a glimpse into this modern Rome through the eyes of one man: Jep Gambardella.
Frozen (American Animation)
Frozen, in so many ways, is a Broadway musical in the body of an animated film.
Ass Backwards (American Film)

Bastards (2013)
Claire Denis has made a film truly dedicated to emphasizing that the people within it are exactly what the title states.
