Americana
Tost strives to reach beyond the basic parameters of his story, not only to lasso some large and uncomfortable themes but to craft a borderline absurdist black comedy around his bleak narrative.
Crime
The Old Man & The Gun
More movies should slow down and let consummate pros bring those small, human, humorous moments to vibrant life.
Revanche
Revanche is an intricate meditation on love and violence woven into a tale about conscience, regret and responsibility.
Cigarettes & Coffee
The chronological order of events is much less compelling than the way Anderson presents them.
Blood Simple
Blood Simple requires a little bit of a stomach, but its rich and detailed plot along with high-level acting make it an excellent thriller.
The Departed
The craft is all top notch. But where The Departed really succeeds is in its explorations of human nature and guilt.
Insomnia
On the surface we’re watching a cop thriller (with a hint of noir), but at its core Insomnia is a morality tale.
