On Swift Horses (2024)

“This is a movie told in inadvertent vignettes; inadvertent because Minahan was probably aiming for a gestalt with his characterizations and instead got the pieces that never resulted in a whole.” –

“It is Garg’s glittering expressive face and efforts at acceptance that are a key to everyone else’s performance and narrative. Garg steals everything but the furniture.” –

“The true star of this tale, the one who’s in the title of the film, is the penguin. Never pass up an opportunity to interact with penguins, and this one is no different.” –

Universal Language (2024)

“There is absolutely no way to make any of this comprehensible which is why you must allow the characters to wash over you... The illogical end is still wholly satisfying, if only because of the belly laughs along the way.” –

Santosh (2024)

“Hillege’s photography will have you choking on the dust and sweating in the heat. The acting is excellent all around, led by the extraordinary Shahana Goswani as Santosh and Sunita Rajwar as a very complex Sharma.” –

Better Man (2024)

“I’m in love with this movie -- the singing, the dancing, the drama, the hilarity. The story is as old as Greek mythology and only goes to prove that if you tell a story well, it doesn’t matter if it’s been told before.” –

A Complete Unknown (2024)

“Chalamet’s portrayal is the work of a master who completely and believably transformed himself into another. Certainly that is what acting is all about but rarely, very, very rarely, does anyone succeed at the level Chalamet has.” –

The Room Next Door (2024)

“The Room Next Door is all expositional and therein lies the problem. Rule one: tell it in a book; show it in a movie. Worse, however, is how bad and stilted the dialogue is.” –

“It had never occurred to any of them that the terrorists might be watching themselves and the reactions of others on the television in the athletes’ room. And this is where September 5 excels, in the moral and ethical gray area. ” –

“It is difficult to watch a story as bleak as this one but there are a number of reasons to recommend it. The Girl with the Needle is an accurate portrayal of the abandoned underclass in a society that provided no safety net. ” –
