A Future Closed Wide Shut

Review: Answers to Nothing

"A celluloid merry-go-round concerning the lives of several Los Angeles residents as they meander throughout their lives, nary a moment exists in the film that doesn’t reek of supreme artificiality and strained connections resulting in a laborious, exhausting exercise in kindness porn, belonging instead to the televised sap on solipsistic network channels than the cutting edge cinema it believes itself to be."

Review: Coriolanus

"A bold and unconventional exploit for a debut (not unlike Julie Taymor’s 1999 film, Titus), Fiennes’ choice to adapt the play as a modern political power struggle is sometimes successful in its union of Shakespeare’s prose to contemporary sociopolitical unrest, but also reveals itself to be a stale, pale echo of the bard’s original play."
