Joan (Glenn Close) accompanies her husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) on a trip to Sweden to pick up his Nobel Prize for Literature. If foreshadowing isn’t your strong suit, which is clearly the case for Swedish director Björn Runge, why bother to introduce an element of mystery? It’s obvious where this …
Martin Scorsese's long-awaited follow up to Raging Bull.
Actor Paul Dano’s move into directing, co-writing, and co-producing for Wildlife probably won’t attract anything like the attention that Bradley Cooper’s similar turn for A Star is Born has, and it’s a pity, because it’s a strong (if awfully sad, though not self-pityingly so) debut and a better film, built …
IFC Midnight’s low-budget horror movies, so often geared for teenage intellects, will, on rare occasions, bound past their logical antecedent — grindhouse studio American International Pictures — and alight in the neighborhood of Roger Corman’s more illustrious New World Pictures.
