Movie Review

Disney has another hit, and another movie that deserves to become "required reading."

If you've managed to become a fan of Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer), you probably weren't expecting his next feature to...

La La Land isn't just an instant classic, it's an instant litmus test, and if you don't love it, you're going to want to be careful who you tell. There's more movie happening here than you find in the average ten films, and Stone and Gosling can't receive too much praise.

We are the Best! is so clever that it often seems not to be saying anything at all, and the stars all deserve more attention and applause than there is any hope of them getting. There is no movie hitting theaters this summer that I recommend more.

The Space Koan genre went a long time without a lot of members, but things are picking up and this one is as fun as it is philosophical, and as daring as it is touching and hopeful.
