...need not make for a most violent film. Case in point: for his third feature, J.C. Chandor leaves behind the existential crisis of All is Lost and returns to Margin Call's explorations of morally murky moneymaking in New York City. This time, instead of toxic assets, there's an actual, physical …
A Chechen Muslim enters Hamburg in the guise of a homeless man seeking asylum and captures the attention of intelligence operative Philip Seymour Hoffman’s antiterror unit.

They are not ponies any more. They are girls. But friendship is still magic. It better be, anyway.
Fittingly, the film opens in winter with 89-year-old Kang Gye-yeol weeping before her “Hubby’s” burial site. The remaining 85 minutes are spent in flashback waiting for the shot to bookend before the final fade. Please don’t scream “Insensitive oaf!” over what’s to follow. It’s because I have a heart that …

Before Banksy there was street artist Julius Cavero, a leading figure in the New York graffiti scene, and this is his story.
