This feels like a muddled artistic vision that culminates in something that’s mostly dull and occasionally inexcusably offensive. 4.6/10
Love Lies Bleeding is an engaging, nasty and occasionally muddled crime picture. It’s a great addition to WLW movie canon because of how much it does that’s unique. 7.5/10
This isn’t just fluff of no nutritional value. There’s depth and drama to this teen romance too. 7.3/10
Maybe this was a genuinely groundbreaking film back in 2013. But in 2024? It just feels dated, self-involved and most damning of all, not funny. 3/10
While Days of Happiness is not a bad film by any means, the Tár comparisons definitely hurt it as Tár is basically a masterpiece and Days of Happiness just isn’t on the same level. 6.0/10
Is With a Kiss I Die a good movie? Of course not! Look at that plot summary! But this film brought me so much joy. 4.4/10
Topless is a gentle, character-driven slice of life film. I’m pretty sure there’s not even any nudity in it. 6.4/10
Compared to the other works of one or more Coen brother, this film would rank near the bottom. Luckily, a lesser Coen film is still a decent time. 6.2/10
