It’s odd for such a film, one of a momentous historical moment, to end up as an artful poem with the spirit of Dylan Thomas.
It’s not only big budget films, or genre pieces from recent American (and male) darlings. There’s a new Scorsese film, a new Kore-eda film, a new Rees film
So far, between the months of January and April, film has offered brilliance in so many regards, within both tiny independents and massive blockbusters.
For all of its swoon-inducing musical numbers and fantastical visions of romance, ‘La La Land’ is a tale about how love doesn’t always work out.
The summer season is notorious for its blockbusters, both the good and the bad (often the bad). But smaller films that release between May and August should not be overlooked.
Comedies can run themselves into the ground when the humor exists for the sake of itself, but ‘Blockers’ dedicates itself to its story and never falters.
The film undoubtedly rests on the shoulders of Jason Clarke, and Clarke turns in one of his finest performances.

‘A Quiet Place’ is, by all means, one of the scariest films of recent memory, but it’s even more effective because it’s a horror film with a gripping emotional basis.

It was yet another beautiful year in film, so let’s celebrate.
