The Inheritance: In the present tale there are two or three things you probably thought I was about to say that today I’m going to have to disappoint you – as many times as I svdemn against such tendencies because I do not think that simplification is the an inadvertent applause or a good surprise […]
Within Jeff Lipsky’s films, it is common for one character to speak uninterrupted for about ten minutes and yet other characters do not place interruption during the fifteen minutes that are given to them. You have to just… follow… the rule. Or, not. You don’t “have” to do anything. When a director, particularly if he
“What you think about girls’ boxing?” The man asking that is Jason Crutchfield (Brian Tyree Henry), the coach of a boys’ boxing club located in Flint, Michigan. It’s 2012, and five years before he’d allowed one girl to join his club (even though it was against protocol): a coiled 11-year-old scowler named Claressa Shields, played
Faith of Angels: I would say that the faith-based genre is one of the genres that I can contend with the best of my colleagues in the arena of film criticism. Having said that I do understand the pitfalls that the genre has to the extent that it is one of the reasons why many

Bird: This project is all hers; she leads and tackles every stage. Eight years ago, the writer-director Andrea Arnold put away her brands of kitchen-sink British austerity in a handheld camera and crossed the pond to shoot “American Honey”, a film about kids in a van who capture the energy and chaos of 21st century
The sluggish first two-thirds of the short story “A Sacrifice” is even more dominant but offers no new information to the audiences and only what they have seen several times before. No one can even say that it is horrible, it is instead a typical boring film in which you gradually forget the name of
Christopher W. Skotchdopole’s debut feature “Crumb Catcher” which was released eight years ago and this, sounds an even longer time ago when compared to how dated works by Mario Bava and frankly, even the subtitle says, is about a thin parasite of an American wife grasping at some affluent husband.
