'Back to Black' Review

Everything has been scrubbed with disinfectant several times over, leaving behind a product so basic that you’d barely get the impression that this person was special at all.

'I Saw the TV Glow' Review

I can’t get it out of my head, and that’s what’s most important.

'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Review

It rises above the notion that it’s an unnecessary addition, as it reaches for newer relevant themes in a world turned upside down.

'We Grown Now' Review

Faults aside, "We Grown Now" still has some powerfulness as it brings eyes to a part of an iconic city that’s unknown to outsiders.

'Unfrosted' Review

It’s all a farce that makes for an inoffensive 90 minutes on Netflix.
