As we’ve discussed, it’s been pretty difficult to trust the big budget blockbusters this summer, resulting in a very indie-driven year for me. We’ve had a few truly great spectacles, but by and large the movies that have been keeping me captivated in the theaters and not […]
After spending a week discussing some smaller movies that would normally slip through the cracks of a summer focused on big boisterous blockbusters, we get to transition today to one of the true outliers of modern Hollywood. A director who makes movies that should be incredibly niche, […]
