I’m kind of floored by this movie. Because the first half hour is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen – a shouty, extravagant attempt at coolness that waves a great big neon sign reading, “Look how edgy and … Continue reading
Clara is a very frustrating movie for me… someone who doesn’t need hard sci-fi but appreciates it when its made. And for a decent amount of time, this looked exactly like that. A science-based drama – maybe hovering into the … Continue reading
