Longlegs is an ominous, dread inducing flick helmed by exceptional lead performances and a unique visual style.

Kinds of Kindness

Kinds of Kindness Review: This Wonderfully Wacky Psychosexual Triptych Won’t be for Everyone

A Quiet Place: Day One is mostly a triumph, helmed by exceptional lead performances from Nyong’o and Quinn, brilliant technical aspects including beautiful cinematography and clever sound design.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ Review: Strong Action Sequences Cannot Save a Bad Script

by Becca Johnson

Godzilla x Kong is an entertaining way to pass two hours, yet its poor script and lack of character development stop it from being truly great.
