Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and LaKeith Stanfield Directed by: Lynne Ramsay Rated: R Running Time: 118 minutes Mubi Our Score: 3 out of 5 Stars How much does a performance really factor into a film?

Film Review: “After the Hunt”
“After the Hunt” feels like a thesis paper written the hour before it’s due.
Film Review: “A House of Dynamite”
“A House of Dynamite” doesn’t build toward a catharsis, it loops through dread.
Film Review: “V/H/S Halloween”
“V/H/S Halloween” captures the essence of this time of year by being consistently violent, funny and at times unsettling.
Film Review: “The Smashing Machine”
“The Smashing Machine” could be a defining moment in Johnson’s acting career. It’s not a knockout of a film, but it lands where it counts.
Film Review: “She Loved Blossoms More”
For viewers looking for a cinematic challenge that aren’t afraid of grotesque sexual imagery, “She Loved Blossoms More” is a delight.
Film Review: “Megadoc”
Directed by: Mike Figgis Rated: NR Running Time: 107 minutes Utopia Our Score: 3 out of 5 Stars I haven’t yet rewatched Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis,” which I really want to do—just to figure out whether it’s pure nonsense or a manic artistic vision. Right now, it’s unavailable for streaming and you can’t …
Film Review: “HIM”
“HIM” doesn’t always know how to weave its themes cleanly, but it’s still a hell of a ride. It’s smart, surreal, and timely.
Film Review “Chain Reactions”
Writer and Director Karyn Kusama says something that stuck with me and puts my feelings of the film into perspective. “It’s hard movie to watch and it’s a hard movie to rewatch yet i keep on returning. It’s as big American film as any American classic. How lucky we are as cinephiles to have Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Film Review: “Super Happy Fun Clown”
The film’s ambiguity is what elevates “Super Happy Fun Clown” above most B-movie slashers.
Film Review: “Caught Stealing” REVIEW # 3
Because this is Labor Day, we can take comfort that all involved will be working on something better soon. It’s a shame they wasted their talents on such an unworthy grift.
Film Review: “Somnium”
“Somnium” ends on a note that’s mildly satisfying, though still loaded with unanswered questions.
Film Review: “JAWS” 50th Anniversay Edition
For now, let’s just say it’s the greatest movie ever made!
FIlm Review: “Caught Stealing” REVIEW # 2
The cast is strong, with Butler and Ms. King giving storng performances. Special mention to Mr. Smith, whose mohawk adorned Russ gives the film a kick in the pants every time he is on screen.
Film Review: “Nobody 2” REVIEW # 2
The big surprise here is Sharon Stone, who plays the criminal mastermind of the town with a coolness she hasn’t shown since “Casino.”
Film Review: “The Naked Gun” (2025) REVIEW #2
If I have one issue, it’s that the film is quite short. The 85-minute running time noted above includes the end credits. Hopefully the next one (fingers crossed) will be longer.
