Review: Martha Marcy May Marlene
October 21, 2011
Martha Marcy May Marlene is a movie whose subject matter is less its subject and more a feeling. It is a film that makes you think, but is not intellectual. It relies its audience to react to and interpret what is on-screen rather than just sit back and experience it.
Review: Drive
September 16, 2011
After premiering at Cannes, Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive received critical acclaim and became my most-looked-forward-to film of the year. Then, I was shocked to see ads for the film on television that suggested it was being given a wide release. This deeply engaging, beautiful, entertaining film is a unique picture that hopefully points towards the future of movies. Its combination of European art house sensibility and mainstream appeal is fascinating, and a joy to witness.
