  • Ray, 2004 - ★★★★★
    Ray is nothing short of extraordinary. It is a masterclass in storytelling, performance, and musical legacy that leaves a lasting impression long after the credits roll.At the heart of the film is Jamie Foxx. Foxx doesn’t just play Ray Charles, he becomes him. From the physicality to the voice to the emotional depth, every detail […]
  • The Night of the Hunter, 1955 - ★★★★½
    Charles Laughton directed one film and it's a hauntingly beautiful nightmare from the Bible.Powell is a wolf who learned to speak fluent sheep, scripture on his lips, hymns in his throat, murder in his hands tattooed LOVE and HATE. The adults are fooled because they want to be. They're watching out for themselves, which is […]
  • Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, 2017 - ★★★★
    Most grief films want you to feel sad. Three Billboards gives you permission to be furious instead, and then shows you exactly what that fury costs.Mildred Hayes doesn't move through the stages of grief. She plants a flag in anger and dares the world to remove her. Frances McDormand plays her as a woman so […]
  • Murder by Death, 1976 - ★★
    It wasn’t abysmal, but just kind of boring and childish which might be worse. And what a surprise given the depth of its cast, Alec Guinness, Peter Falk, Peter Sellers, Truman Capote and more. The caricatures that it painted had no subtlety or nuance it was like slapstick. This could have been produced by the […]
  • Wendy and Lucy, 2008 - ★★★
    I think that Reichardt is contractually opposed to happy endings, which makes Wendy and Lucy both her purest film and her most withholding. There is just a woman and a dog and an Oregon parking lot. Williams strips herself down so completely she stops reading as an actress. You believe she has no other options […]
