“Comedy” Reviews

One of those films you have to see for yourself in order to believe that something like it could even exist.

Noi the Albino possesses an otherness that makes it a truly surprising, engaging, and thought-provoking debut feature.

‘Blister’ is a hidden gem, one that both affirms the value of our hobbies while also reminding us that there is a real world out there.

Pen-Ek Ratanaruang’s sophomore film possesses style, attention to detail and character, and depth.

Even with its flaws, The Bird People in China is downright heart-tugging compared to Miike’s usual fare.

It’s almost subversive at the same time, the way it blends such solid characters with plenty of gore and some wicked humor.

The film never lives up its vast potential but consistently underperforms right through the lackluster ending.

A smart script and some amazing acting keep this quirky philosophical movie running at a good pace.

Guy Maddin has created a weird little movie with a golden heart.

Samurai Fiction is a loving, humorous — and incredibly stylish — parody/homage to the classic samurai films of yore.

A very entertaining and engaging, if somewhat dated, kung fu flick.

This is completely different from any other animated film you’ve likely seen in the past few years.

At its heart, this film is a wonderfully done piece about healing and reconciliation.

I’m hardpressed to think of a film I’ve seen in recent months with as much heart, drama, and glorious humanity as Spellbound.

I found it very hard to feel for characters so completely dense and mean-spirited.

Gems like this one are the whole reason why I watch and review movies in the first place.

There’s a moment when 9 Souls ceases being an entertaining film about bumbling ex-cons and becomes something far deeper.

A film about death and mourning that’s filled with warmth and a wonderful sense of humor.

The film is unashamedly pro-American, but there are some scenes that are downright subversive.

I could literally feel my teeth rotting as I watched.
