‘Brian And Charles’ Review

‘Brian And Charles’ Review

Perhaps the worst thing you can say about a film or filmmaker is that they remind you of someone or something else. While it is possible to receive praise for resembling or evoking a contemporary, if you resemble another filmmaker, then by...

‘The Black Phone’ Review

‘The Black Phone’ Review

There’s an old adage when it comes to adapting short stories: keep it simple, stupid. Short stories work because of the purity of their vision: no flowery prose, no excessive world-building. Just a great story, get in, get out, boom. However...

‘Cha Cha Real Smooth’ Review (Sundance Review)

‘Cha Cha Real Smooth’ Review (Sundance Review)

It’s nice to know, in real time, that Gen-Z’s going to be alright. Despite all the hair-pulling and screaming about the death of art in the modern world (mostly by Boomers), there’s been a steady rise of artists under 25 tackling real-world...

‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ Review

‘Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness’ Review

Despite their claims to the contrary, it is becoming more glaringly apparent with each film that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is made by committee. While the directors have control over stylistic flourishes, and may have some input in the story...

‘Pleasure’ Review

‘Pleasure’ Review

We live in a strange age in our relationship to art. While pushback on sex scenes is at an all-time high, historically, there’s less sex on camera than there’s been since the 1950s. This paradox is one of many reasons Ninja Thyberg’s Pleasure...

‘Crimes Of The Future’ Review

‘Crimes Of The Future’ Review

A Cronenberg picture always dares you to guess what the film’s about. Critics and scholars will bend over backward trying to analyze his nasty little films, parsing for meanings that are almost certainly intended, including man’s toxic...

‘Watcher’ Review (Sundance Review)

‘Watcher’ Review (Sundance Review)

Can an ending completely save a film? That’s the question I found myself asking coming out of Watcher, the directorial debut of acclaimed short film director Chloe Okuno. With a catchy hook reminiscent of the early films of Polanski and Argento...

‘Emergency’ Review (Sundance Review)

‘Emergency’ Review (Sundance Review)

It takes a skilled hand to make something truly terrifying a laughingstock. It has to raise serious questions and shine a light on the subject while simultaneously taking the complete piss out of it. In Emergency, Carey Williams adapts his own...

‘The Bob’s Burgers Movie’ Review

‘The Bob’s Burgers Movie’ Review

It’s hard to say why animated adaptations of beloved television shows are the only ones to ever succeed. Maybe it’s because animation is a more delightful art form. Maybe it’s because it’s easier to keep original casts around a lot longer...

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Review

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Review

I openly consider Top Gun one of the greatest action films of all time. Actually, that’s an understatement – at one point, it was listed as one of my greatest films of all time. It’s the platonic ideal of what an action film should be – stars so...

‘You Won’t Be Alone’ Review (Sundance Review)

‘You Won’t Be Alone’ Review (Sundance Review)

In a period in film history where studios seem to play things safer and safer with each outing, there’s an innate desire to praise Big Swings – films that grapple with the nature of existence in new and challenging ways. Take, for instance, Goran...

‘The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent’ Review

‘The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent’ Review

There’s a common sentiment I’ve shared on The Sacred Wall several times before, and I will say it once again, loudly and proudly: I f*cking love Nicolas Cage. I wholeheartedly believe that the man is one of our finest living actors, playing...
