Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: multiple scenes come across as staged…Still, despite its flaws, this is a loving family portrait and picture of a community becoming divided by partisanship when its white conservative status quo is challenged.
[ Fantastic Fest 2022] Deep Fear Unearths Hatred Barely Beneath the Surface
C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: The film goes beyond standard fare with sociopolitical undertones, utilising France’s dark history of collaboration with the Nazis, and its brutal history of colonialism in Algeria, to tell a larger story about the endurance of extreme right-wing views.
[ Fantastic Fest 2022] The Offering: A Tragic Yet Beautiful Tale Weaved from Jewish Faith & Folklore
C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: While The Offering might seem, on its surface, like typical horror fare for the demonic possession subgenre, its use of Jewish folklore and a concentration on Jewish characters makes it more interesting than a lot of the Christian-obsessed demon films that have flooded the horror genre over the decades.
New York Film Festival 2022: A Couple, Showing Up
- Excerpt: Yes, festivals like this one also provide a platform for audiences to see films by new and exciting talents that we may have never heard of before and that is incredibly important. But it’s also a pleasant thought to know that if, say, Frederick Wiseman and Kelly Reichardt have new movies coming out, the odds are good that those movies will be at NYFF.
New York Film Festival 2022: Corsage
- Excerpt: But if the Sissi trilogy feels like a series of sentimental pop ballads, writer-director Marie Kreutzer’s new cinematic depiction of the life of the Empress, Corsage, is a punk rock rebel yell: angry, energetic, and intensely enjoyable.
New York Film Festival 2022: Master Gardener
- Excerpt: Alas, with Master Gardener, Schrader ends this loose trilogy of films focused on moral responsibility, not with a bang, or even a whimper, but more of a “huh?”
New York Film Festival 2022: Will-o’-the-Wisp & One Fine Morning
- Excerpt: LEE JUTTON Lee Jutton has directed short films starring a killer toaster,… My latest dispatch from the 2022 New York Film Festival features two great films involving passionate love affairs — but, apart from that, they could not be more radically different.
