Lover, Stalker, Killer (2024)

“Hobkinson deserves credit for creating suspense throughout, with assistance from Nick Foster’s score, which happily flirts with Bernard Herrmann, and cinematography and editing that add to the feeling of disorientation and instability.” –

3/5
“Those campy songs we've been humming for the last 20 years? They've still got it. There's nothing like listening to a theater full of off-key crooners lending their tonsils to "You're the One That I Want" and "Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee". ” –

Night Swim (2024)

“Night Swim eventually runs out of places to go, but not before it weds some sneaky character development to a few good, solid jump moments. It might not find an audience, but it deserves one.” –

David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived (2023)

“The Boy Who Lived lacks the complexity and frisson that might have set it apart... It is content to be a solid tale of perseverance and friendship, a story about, as Holmes himself puts it, “overcoming adversity.” Look for nothing more, or less. ” –

Coup de Chance (2023)

“Coup de Chance is a pretty slight and minor film, but for an 87-year-old American working in a second language, it can’t help but seem impressive; it’s certainly as good as anything Allen has made since 2013’s Blue Jasmine.” –

A Compassionate Spy (2022)
