ROOM 104: SEASON 4
At twelve half hour episodes, the short film anthology well overstays its welcome, but finds brilliance in the occasional story thanks to a winning cast.
Category: Streaming & Blu-Ray
AT HOME FINLAND
The quality of the stories fluctuate wildly, but when AT HOME hits, it knocks it out of the ballpark.
CURSED
The premise is great, the cast decent, and Netflix already has a pedigree with fantasy content. So why is the result such a mess?
SHOWBIZ KIDS
Important and deeply compassionate, SHOWBIZ KIDS nevertheless can’t see the woods from the trees and stumbles in an effort to talk about everything at once.
GREYHOUND
Lead by an always reliable performance by Tom Hanks, GREYHOUND is a smart, slick, and a decidedly unglamorous war film.
BRAVE NEW WORLD
Pretty production values and a decent cast can’t hide the fact that this adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s dated text has little to contribute for the present.
HEARD IT ALL BEFORE: THE OLD GUARD REVIEW
A potentially exciting story about immortality on an endless battlefield is wasted on a clunker of a script that even the game cast cannot save.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA
A mean spirited, mercilessly unfunny, and aggressively awful film about punching down that makes you root for eternal social distancing.
I’LL BE GONE IN THE DARK
Meticulously crafted and beautifully composed, I’LL BE GONE IN THE DARK is still misguided and often troubling in its desire to sensationalize tragedy.
WASP NETWORK
Poorly directed, convoluted, and edited to within an inch of its life, WASP NETWORK is a film that doesn’t work on any level beyond its great cast.
