“The story goes where you expect it to, Powell and Arjona keeping it alive as it starts to feel like we’re going through the motions of a typical interpersonal crime story, albeit a comical one. It all generally works, just not in the most interesting way.” –

“...it’s hard not to feel like the whole thing is an awards grab circa the Kiss of the Spider Woman era, when filmmakers were still getting mainstream audiences used to the idea of queer characters in general.” –

Strange Way of Life (2023)

C+
“Strange Way of Life may not be disappointing per se, but for the morsel that it is combined with its genre gimmicks and limited ambitions, it can feel like an extended Super Bowl ad for film nerds.” –

“Not enough can be said about Stone here. Her incredibly physical performance coupled with pitch-perfect comedic timing and, when Tony McNamara’s brilliant script calls for it, sincerity make it an easy career-best for the starlet. ” –

“Once Foe goes hammy, it becomes propulsive in a way that’s hard to look away from. The story refuses to end and we’re just here to watch it crash and burn. It always looks good, though.” –

“Writer-director Andrew Haigh’s moody, devastating supernatural love story juxtaposes queer past with queer present, muddying the answer in ways that feel as true as they do pessimistic.” –

Bones and All (2022)

“It’s at once horror, romance, coming of age, and a classic episodic American road trip movie. And for the most part, Guadagnino and screenwriter David Kajganich succeed in making these various pieces sing together as a cohesive whole.” –
