SXSW Film Review: Fast Color

Gugu Mbatha-Raw is a powerhouse – a stunning actress who should be a household name at this point due to her magnificent work in Belle, Beyond the Lights, and Black Mirror’s buzziest episode, “San Junipero.” Her presence is commanding, and in Julia Hart’s arthouse superhero film Fast Color she’s a beacon to behold.

SXSW Film Review: Wild Nights With Emily

Director Madeleine Olnek’s portrayal of the life of Emily Dickinson in Wild Nights With Emily comedically deflates portrayals of the poet as a tortured recluse and delivers an earnest perspective into her life as an eclectic, misunderstood poet.

SXSW Panel Recap: Spike Lee Master Class

Taking a bizarre turn for a "master class" with legendary writer/director Spike Lee, what was billed as an educative experience shifted into more (and less) than advertised, for good, bad, and the hilarious.

SXSW Film Review: Daughters of the Sexual Revolution

White hotpants. Sparkly blue halter tops. Vinyl go-go boots. All originate with Suzanne Mitchell, director and sometimes controversial “den mother” of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from 1976 through 1989, and primary focus of Daughters of the Sexual Revolution: The Untold Story of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

SXSW Film Review: Profile

No one can say that Timur Bekmambetov is afraid to try new things. Over the past few years, he served as producer on two movies – Hardcore Henry and Unfriended – that unfold entirely through a first-person perspective. Now, with Profile, Bekmambetov himself steps behind the camera.

SXSW Film Review: Lean on Pete

The plot of director Andrew Haigh’s newest melancholy tale sounds, on the face of it, cut from pure cheese. Don’t be fooled. Lean on Pete is a marvel of neo-realistic filmmaking, a trenchant and melancholy portrait of a 15-year-old boy seemingly destined to get the wrong end of the stick almost every time.

SXSW Film Review: Final Portrait

You know what I’m a sucker for? Films about the creative process. No matter the object being created – a painting, a film, or a fruit tart – the appeal of watching someone pull something out of the ether of their imagination is endlessly fascinating to me.
