    It exists less as an adaptation than a love letter to the film, its large community of fans, and crazy dreamers everywhere.

    The film’s success rides on the shoulders of Hawkes, and for the most part, it works.

    The faults of Gemini are in its screenplay, and Katz’s inability to sustain interesting character dynamics and maintain a consistent narrative. As a director, Gemini is easily Katz’s most confident outing to date.

    Put simply, Song to Song lacks the soul of Malick’s best work.

    McDonagh seems to have more to say in this film, but it’s lost among the narrative and stylistic inconsistencies.

    Hunter Gatherer is by no means perfect, but it leaves an impression that will linger for days to come, as images of Ashley and Jeremy continue to haunt the mind. Hunter Gatherer is that rare film that sneaks around the corner and smashes headlong into the viewer.

    Phantasm: Ravager will disappoint the uninitiated, but those who are loyal will find enough to love.

    Shyamalan ingeniously places his leading man front and center, where McAvoy amuses and horrifies as the cliché plot points sometimes stumble.

    There is an unpredictability to the film that is, at times, refreshing. This unpredictability turns into meandering, however, leading to narrative incoherence at many points.
