Don’t Worry Darling is a fine idea for a episode of mystery suspense sci-fi tv show… but it’s stretched to two hours of often uneventful, static storytelling. Cut this back by a good hour or insert more breadcrumbs and they … Continue reading
They/Them is a movie that can’t pick a lane and winds up swerving all over the road, running everyone into a ditch, and satisfyingly no one. I think they had a good idea… a twist on the old-fashioned summer camp … Continue reading
