Sentimental Value

Sentimental Value; A remarkable achievement in family drama storytelling, containing exemplary performances throughout the cast. Hooks you immediately w/clever juxtaposition of imagery & narration, inviting you into the complexity of this family’s past & present relationships. A masterclass; A+

Predator: Badlands

Predator: Badlands; If a franchise lives long enough, the villain will eventually become the hero. Latest instalment asks us to cheer for the underdog runt of Predators, and keeps us engaged with zany humour and some pretty gruesome kills and dismemberment. Another triumph for an aging franchise; B

Ballerina

Ballerina; Sweet animated film is devoted to its story of an orphan's spirited love of dance. Perfect film for its targeted age range; A-

Maleficent

Maleficent; All about the look, but after the amazing score, costumes and art design, lacks any substance. Dull, pedestrian story arc; C-
