    Review: What They Had

    by Andrew Parker October 24, 2018
    by Andrew Parker October 24, 2018

    While plenty of films and stories have been crafted about families struggling to make the right logistical and emotional decisions when loved ones are in the throes of potentially terminal illness, writer-director Elizabeth Chomko’s debut feature What They Had is one of the funniest, sincerest, most realistic, and best performed.

    Review: ’12 Strong’

    by Andrew Parker January 18, 2018
    by Andrew Parker January 18, 2018

    While 12 Strong doesn’t reinvent the war film template, this suitably rousing, intelligent, witty, and well told story contains more than a few surprises that make the film’s unceremonious inclusion amid the January theatrical dumping grounds a bit of a head scratcher.

    Review: ‘Complete Unknown,’ starring Rachel Weisz and Michael Shannon

    by Andrew Parker October 13, 2016
    by Andrew Parker October 13, 2016

    Joshua Marston’s Complete Unknown (starring Rachel Weisz and Michael Shannon) is almost purposefully lacking in depth since it’s meant to be taken as an exploration into how some people will stop at anything to escape the banality of white, upper middle class existence. It’s as exciting as that sounds.
