Review: CLÉO FROM 5 TO 7

It has survived as an important feminist film, but it’s also a fine example of existentialism in cinema.

Review: PRIEST

Feels down-to-earth in its portrait of the Liverpool community and conveys the many issues it has with the Catholic church in compelling ways.

Review: NIGHTS OF CABIRIA

Realistic and poetic, with a vivid music score by Nino Rota, illustrating the joy and tragedy of Cabiria’s existence.

Review: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

The director handles the film’s difficult issues with intelligence and emotion without letting sentimentality dominate.

Quick Take: CHARTER

A relatable drama, even if far from every turn of the story feels convincing.

Quick Take: BLOODSHOT

This adaptation of the comic book puts Vin Diesel’s worst traits on display – macho but uncharismatic all the way through.
