Heist thriller. Pratfall comedy. Primal yell. Multitudes, y'all.
Gutting, yes, but also the kind of generous and melancholy comedy Mazursky was master of.
A sumptuous, slow-burn romance anchors a larger portrait of women bound together as second-class citizens.
A severed hand goes on a hero's journey in this totally wackadoo, terribly sad animated picture.
Devilishly fun stuff.
Kafka meets Casablanca in this rattling romance set now, under Nazi occupation.
This slyly feminist Charlize Theron/Seth Rogen rom-com was just so dang likable.
The visuals in Zhang Yimou's wuxia epic dropped my jaw again and again.
A beautiful evocation of family bonds; of being lost, and found.
Never mind the leads are played by two Brits: This is America.
