‘She Rides Shotgun’ Review: A Young Girl Learns To Grow Up Fast In Violent But Slyly Subversive New Mexico Neo-Noir
She Rides Shotgun begins with one uneasy situation and ends on quite another, and the two hours in between are anything but comfortable. Somehow, though, director Nick Rowland finds the lodestone of emotion that allows us to follow its young heroine on…

‘Tura!’ Review: Cody Jarrett’s Surprisingly Moving Doc Shows The Human Side Of A Beautiful, Badass B-Movie Queen
“Beautiful! Voluptuous! Deadly! Vicious!” As a movie star, Tura Satana was hardly prolific, but as a cult cinema icon the former go-go girl was already a legend long before her death in 2011 at the age of 72. Directed by Cody Jarrett, narrated by Margaret Cho, and perfectly timed for the 60th…
‘The Bad Guys 2’ Review: DreamWorks’ Patchy Family Animation Takes Time To Find Its Groove
The first Bad Guys (2022) stood out for several reasons, primarily for a voice cast that sounded like the most stellar Sundance movie ever. The reason it worked, however, is that it capitalized on parent fatigue, replacing the black-and-white lecturing…
‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Review: Pedro Pascal Leads Charismatic Cast In Satisfying And Stylish Marvel Adventure
Superheroes are a thing of the past in the latest iteration of Marvel's Fantastic Four, the best by far of the company's attempts to translate the long-running comic book's appeal to the big screen. This it does not by trying to reinvent the wheel but…
‘Better Go Mad In The Wild’ Review: Miro Remo’s Crystal Globe Winner Gets Up Close And Personal With A Pair Of Eccentric Czech Twins – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
The shadow of the Maysles brothers looms large over the surprise winner of the 59th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, a documentary that can't help but summon up the spirit of the duo's 1975 masterpiece Grey Gardens. That film told the story of two women living in squalor in the New York…
Karlovy Vary Reveals Award Winners: Miro Remo’s ‘Better Go Mad in the Wild’ Takes The Crystal Globe
The 59th International Karlovy Vary Film Festival passed by in a blur this week after playing host to a stream of largely uncontroversial guests compared to previous years. With appearances by Festival President's Award winners Vicky Krieps, Dakota Johnson and Peter Sarsgaard, plus a special cameo…
‘Don’t Call Me Mama’ Review: Pia Tjelta Stands Out In A Surprisingly Subversive Norwegian Immigrant Drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Norway famously gave us Liv Ullmann, muse to the Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman, but since then, this country of just 5.55 million people continues to punch above its weight, adding a long line of actresses of a similar caliber. Now, to a list that…
‘Out of Love’ Review: Camille Cottin’s Low-Key, Focused Performance Anchors Nathan Ambrosioni’s Family Drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
An intriguing premise doesn't quite pan out in Nathan Ambrosioni's latest feature, but there's no denying the potential in this impossibly young, prolific director. France's answer — if the question was ever asked — to Montreal's Xavier Dolan, the 25-year-old is a similarly sensitive and certainly…
‘Broken Voices’ Review: A Young Girl’s Dream Becomes A Nightmare In This Indelible Czech #MeToo Drama – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Although it seems on the surface to be another film confronting the #MeToo phenomenon, Ondřej Provazník's thoughtful and quite superbly nuanced drama takes a radically different approach to the issue. At times, it certainly is a hard watch, notably in the last 15 or so minutes, but Broken Voices is…
Nadav Lapid Explains The Thinking Behind His Controversial Cannes Hit ‘Yes!’: “I Don’t Understand The World Anymore” – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
If Nadav Lapid's fifth film Yes! didn't exist, it would be almost impossible to think of anything like it. A provocative, intensely sensory and dryly witty study of modern-day life in Tel Aviv, it is likely the first film by an Israeli to confront the elephant in the room: the ongoing war in Gaza. At…
Peter Sarsgaard On Awards, Elon Musk, And Dancing In His New Film ‘The Bride’: “It’s About The Monster In All Of Us” – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
Peter Sarsgaard arrived in Karlovy Vary as one of the festival’s few honorees without a new film in the lineup — instead, he presented his 2003 film Shattered Glass, a visionary real-life drama about an ethically unmoored journalist whose embellished stories in some ways foresaw the media landscape…
Dakota Johnson On Books, Music And Making Movies About Love In The Modern World: “I Learned That Dating Sucks” – Karlovy Vary Film Festival
"This place looks Disneyland," says Dakota Johnson admiringly. It's her first visit to Karlovy Vary, and her attempts to take in the local sights and delicacies have been sadly scuppered by the sheer number of sightseers on the spa town's picturesque main drag. "It was kind of hard to get around, so…
