Movie Review: The Banshees of Inisherin
4.5 stars out of 5Despite enjoying their previous work together In Bruges, I didn’t rush out to see this film. From the trailer, it seemed a little “diddlydee” as my Irish friend Patrick says. And with two old pals — Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson — comedically feuding, the whole thing looked like it might […]
Movie Review: Decision to Leave
4 stars out of 5In the mid-aughts, I really meant to see Oldboy. Then in 2013, I missed Spike Lee’s remake of Oldboy.

Movie Review: Smile
4 stars out of 5Sosie Bacon was wonderfully messed up as the junkie birth mom in Mare of Easttown, and she radiated warmth as the caretaker of autistic young adults in As We See It. Here, in Smile, she gets to do both — though admittedly a lot more of the screwed up stuff. You’ve […]
