THE CONFESSIONS OF FRANNIE LANGTON is a four-part British miniseries, which premieres on BritBox on March 8. Based on the novel by Sara Collins, THE CONFESSIONS OF FRANNIE LANGTON stars Karla-Simone Spence as Frannie, a young, educated Black Jamaican woman who is brought to England in the 1820s. Technically free, Frannie’s gender and race both make it next to impossible for her to refuse employment as a maid in the London household of wealthy George Benham (Stephen Campbell Moore). Then Frannie falls in love with George’s wife Marguerite (Sophie Cookson). Marguerite reciprocates Frannie’s feelings, though their romance is necessarily cloaked […]Read On »

In CARNIVAL ROW, now streaming its second and final season on Prime Video, faeries and humans share a world that resembles eighteenth-century Europe. Many have settled in the Burgue, where some of the Fae and some of the humans would like to coexist in peace. However, a lot of them hate each other. Jamie Harris plays virulently anti-Fae human police officer Sergeant Dombey, and Jay Ali plays the adamantly anti-human Fae freedom fighter/terrorist Kaine. Their personal animosity is particularly fierce, as Dombey killed Kaine’s wife. In reality, Ali and Harris are good friends, which comes across in their separate but […]Read On »

In CARNIVAL ROW, now in its second and final season on Prime Video, the Fae are rebelling against their human oppressors in the eighteenth-century-Europe-like Burgue.

Norwegian actors Ine Marie Wilmann and Pål Sverre Hagen have worked together on so many films and TV series that, Hagen quips, “It’s like a national joke now.” Their shared credits include the films DIANA’S WEDDING (DIANAS BRYLLUP), SONJA: THE WHITE SWAN, and I TRAVEL ALONE, and the Norwegian television series EXIT and WAR SAILOR (they also both had guest roles on the same season of DAG, but not the same episode).

Prime Video’s series CARNIVAL ROW premieres its ten-episode second and final season on February 17. The show debuted in August of 2019, and was promptly picked up for a second, but COVID delayed production so much that it’s just coming out now. In CARNIVAL ROW, a war of acquisition between rival human nations in the Faerie homeland has caused Faeries to flee for safety to the human realm of the Burgue, which resembles Victorian England. Here, Fae are treated as second-class citizens. “Carnival Row” is the name given to the Fae district within the Burge. Among the refugees is the […]Read On »

ATTACHMENT movie poster | ©2023 Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Josephine Park, Ellie Kendrick, Sofie Gråbøl, David Dencik Writer: Gabriel Bier Gislason Director: Gabriel Bier Gislason Distributor: Shudder Release Date: February 9, 2023 (Shudder) From movies like THE EXORCIST to THE CONJURING franchise to this week’s release CONSECRATION, Catholicism still gets the lion’s share of horror movie attention. However, with 2012’s THE POSSESSION, 2021’s THE VIGIL, and this year’s THE OFFERING, among others, Jewish lore is getting some screen time, too. ATTACHMENT (NATTEN HAR BJINE), directed and written by Gabriel Bier Gislason, is the newest entry in this horror subgenre. It’s a slow burn, but a […]Read On »

SKINAMARINK movie poster | ©2023 IFC Midnight/Shudder

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Lucas Paul, Dali Rose Tetreault, Ross Paul, Jaime Hill Writer: Kyle Edward Ball Director: Kyle Edward Ball Distributor: IFC Midnight/Shudder Release Date: January 13, 2023 (theatrical); February 2, 2023 (Shudder) Evaluating SKINAMARINK properly probably requires someone far better versed than this reviewer is in experimental cinema, and/or slow cinema. There is indeed a genre known as slow cinema, which is pretty much what it sounds like. There are static shots; there is repetition; plots are sketchy, if they exist at all. This is intentional, to put the viewer in a state where they can experience the […]Read On »

PBS Kids’ new series WORK IT OUT WOMBATS! premieres Monday, February 6, on the PBS Kids Prime Video Channel. For those unfamiliar with the animal, a wombat is an Australian marsupial mammal that looks a little like a woodchuck. Except, in the case of WORK IT OUT WOMBATS!, the wombats are animated siblings who live with their grandmother in the Treeborhood (that’s a neighborhood in a tree). The program is designed to help children ages three through six begin to understand computer coding.
