Part of me suspects Asteroid City is one big troll by Wes Anderson. Like he put together a movie that feels exactly like a movie he’d make, but then he just filled it with abstractions, oddities, and disconnected stuff. When … Continue reading
The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is a movie with a great title and and even greater ambitions. It brushes up against something really interesting and cool but it doesn’t have the follow-through to make it really special. The … Continue reading
The first two acts of No Hard Feelings are so (inappropriately) funny, I thought I was going to give this flick a surprisingly high score. But the third act was such a startling belly flop, it dropped precariously. Still giving … Continue reading
