Atonement
(2026)
|
Matt Neglia
|
But who grants that absolution? The victim's loved ones? God? Yourself? Van Dyk seems to suggest the answer may be all three, and even then, it may still not be enough. This is very complicated, delicate material handled with great care.

As such, it’s extra disappointing that "Parallel Tales" unspools away from sense and a compelling drive and instead turns out to be a monotonous, limp misfire.

"Tangles" represents the best of what animation can do: it conjures up a story through human artistry that turns our feelings and impressions of the world into a visualized reality.

Magic Hour

In the end, "Magic Hour" is quite a mixed experience. There are plenty of real, raw emotions on the screen and the page, but the screenplay feels too repetitive and surface-level for most of the runtime.

Upon actually watching "Affection" for yourself, your leap of faith will be met with pleasant surprise. Though not without its faults, writer/director BT Meza’s horror-thriller lays a solid foundation for a new voice in the genre.

For a film advocating for change, we hereby advocate for a change in this kind of middling production, focusing instead on a multiplicity of competing voices rather than simply a feel-good survey of cherry-picked stories that buttress a given argument.

It also serves as a reminder that Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach are performers cut from the same cloth. When two actors understand their characters this deeply and clearly love showing up to work alongside one another, it radiates off the screen.
