The Front Runner (2019) stumbles right out of the gate. #Review
Jason Reitman’s dull but dutiful checkbox biopic rakes over the long-dead ashesof the run-up to the 1988 US Presidential election but fails to find anything to really say beyond a milquetoast critique of the current personality politics which dominates American public life...

Earlier this year, Netflix released Velvet Buzzsaw, a horror film about art that came alive and killed people, and if you'd told me that that film would not be the most bizarre and off the wall horror film they released this year, I would not have believed you, yet here we are.

This film clearly wasn't made for me, and there's a decent chance that I might not have enjoyed it regardless of the quality. Yet, I can still acknowledge if a film has quality despite me not necessarily enjoying it; this is not one of those films.

The Current War (2017)
2017 | Biography, Drama, History
The Current War is a visually enthralling historical drama that sometimes gets a bit lost in its cinematic experimentation, but its efforts are greatly commendable. It’s innovative like the pioneers it depicts, daring to take risks within a genre whose films can all too easily fall back on tried-and-tested tropes.
