Muse
MUSE had the audience still and silent throughout, as all members were focused on the familiarity of the tale of a haunted artist, creative challenges and unrequited love. Lydia Lowe reviews at CFF.
Frankie
FRANKIE is aesthetically gorgeous, but let down by an underwhelming narrative and bland execution. There’s a story to be told here, but Ira Sachs seems reluctant to tell it. Joe McLauchlan reviews at Cannes 2019.
Sorry To Bother You
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU is a bold and distinctive vision that is rightly nowhere near as apologetic as the title. Jim Ross reviews.
To Dream
Possessing an impressive young cast and some genuinely surprising twists, TO DREAM is a tightly plotted and emotionally charged debut. Joseph McLauchlan reviews.
Disobedience
DISOBEDIENCE would have been a much more captivating tale of forbidden love if only it had freed itself of its own limitations. Serena Scateni reviews.
Saturday Church
The small moments of intimacy alone make SATURDAY CHURCH a worthwhile watch. Murray Ferguson reviews at Discovery Film Festival.
Ether
After a solid and convincing main body, ETHER might have benefited from a little more subtlety at its conclusion. Serena Scateni reviews at Rome Film Festival.
Boy Erased
Although Joel Edgerton’s BOY ERASED may succeed in its obvious intents, it sadly lacks the necessary power to shine. Serena Scateni reviews from Rome Film Festival.
The Guilty
The confining space of a cinema is the perfect place to watch THE GUILTY, the venue’s own restrictions aptly mirroring that felt by the characters. Francesca Woulfe reviews.
