Orphan August can hardly believe his eyes. In the dead of winter, a small bird suddenly lands at his window. But the strange creature is a tree elf - the last of its kind, who entrusts August with an almost impossible mission that could change his own and the world of tree alves forever.
"Boston Strangler" pulls the curtain back on a well-documented historical moment involving significant contributions from women reporters.
The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
Behind all the action, 'Space Sweepers' is a surprisingly heartfelt and progressive story about building community.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a film that is jarring within the first five minutes. Being at the edge of my seat from the very beginning made me feel both excited and frightened for what was to come, and it did not disappoint. Led strongly by Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a woman trapped in the “American dream”, this film shows that society tells us what should make us happy. Many critics describe Die My Love as being about post-partem depression, but it is so much more. After moving to a secluded home with her husband Jackson, Grace finds herself in the throes of motherhood. Feeling isolated in her physical environment and her romantic relationship, Grace suffers psychologically. Lawrence brings a sense of rawness and humor to the screen that is often uncomfortable. Robert Pattinson adds to the discomfort as her loving, yet lost husband Jackson, who cares about his wife but does not know how to help her. Lynne Ramsay has presented a film that forces us to look at the realness of life, and what happens when the promise of what should make you whole fails.
"His Girl Friday" set the bar for romcoms and gave us a feminist heroine before feminism was cool.
