The Imposter screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
There are stories you hear about a friend’s cousin’s sister’s best friend that tread the line between the truth and urban legend. ‘The Imposter’ is a documentary that plays out like town gossip blown out of proportion, but the reality of the events that take place are astounding.
‘Room 237’ screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ is over 30 years-old and the famous “Here’s Johnny” line may get all the attention, but the film’s enduring legacy is the maze of ideas Kubrick may or may not have captured. ‘Room 237’ is a fascinating documentary that explores the ‘The Shining’ and the interpretative landscape of cinema.
‘Sound of My Voice’ screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Cults are bad. It’s the premise of every film made about those groups that deal in mental manipulation and Kool-aid. ‘Sound of My Voice’ plays the usual mind games you’d expect from a film about misguided worship, but there is more on offer than just white cloaks and false prophets.
Mine Games screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Young people in horror/thriller movies are always lambs to the slaughter. Most of the time the experience may be a satisfying roast in the mind of the audience but ‘Mine Games’ is the mutton.
‘The Angels’ Share’ screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Forgiveness is a powerful human trait. There are very few people who actually deserve it, but it can be a blessing for a new life for those willing to genuinely accept a second chance. The redemptive path is paved with laughter and charm in director Ken Loach’s new film ‘The Angels’ Share’.
