INTERROGATION is streaming all ten episodes of its first season on CBS All-Access.

Kyle Gallner stars as prime suspect Eric Fisher, accused at age seventeen of killing his mother.

Granted, the U.S. government can be dysfunctional, but it doesn’t usually have the kinds of lapses that would lead to a cadre of mixed mercenaries and ideologues invading1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, armed with actual weapons rather than words. Part of the film deals with uncovering the question of who these people are and what […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Hugh Dancy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jonathan Pryce, Felicity Jones, Rupert Everett Writers: Stephen Dyer & Jonah Lisa Dyer, story by Howard Gensler Director: Tanya Wexler Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics Release Date: May 18, 2012 Surprisingly enough, the vibrator was invented during the Victorian era. Though HYSTERIA’s account of how this came to pass can be taken with a grain – or perhaps an entire shaker – of salt, the film’s overall look at the juxtaposition of extreme sexual prudishness (to say nothing of sexism and classism) and the upper-class medical theories of the day are hilarious and appalling […]Read On »
