Movie Review: SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL | ©2023 RLJE Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Nicolas Cage, Joel Kinnaman Writer: Luke Paradise Director: Yuval Adler Distributor: RLJE Films Release Date: July 28, 2023 In SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL, Nicolas Cage, one of the film’s producers, plays the unnamed Passenger. The Passenger is one of only two main characters in a thriller that takes place largely in a car. Cage is onscreen for most of the movie, giving a performance that can be objectively described as intense, even by his standards. Without much around him that’s complicated or flashy, the performance seems larger than it might in another context. Despite the possibilities […]Read On »

Movie Review: HOLISTAY

HOLISTAY | ©2023 Breaking Glass Pictures

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Erin Gavin, Gabriela Kulaif, Steven Martini, Gavin O’Fearraigh, John Michael Hersey, Bailee Bob Sveen Writer: Mary Gallagher Director: Mary Gallagher Distributor: Breaking Glass Pictures Release Date: July 25, 2023 (VOD/Digital) HOLISTAY is technically a thriller with Celtic horror trimmings. However, structurally, it’s like one of those jokes where the punchline requires a long, deadpan set-up in order to work. On the upside, the “punchline” in HOLISTAY works, at least when it hits. Then we’re left with more questions. On the downside, the set-up here is indeed long. HOLISTAY takes place in an upscale neighborhood in San […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Ariana Greenblatt, America Ferrara, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, Helen Mirren (voice) Writers: Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach Director: Greta Gerwig Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: July 21, 2023 BARBIE is weird, in a mostly good way. It is pleasingly clever, wonderfully acted, and has perfect production design (by Sarah Greenwood) and even more remarkable costume design (by Jacqueline Durran). BARBIE’s script, by director Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach, is also loaded with ideas that turn over and over and over. There’s comedy, there’s parody, there’s self-satire, there’s […]Read On »
