Review of Cyrano (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Dec 2021

Review of Nightmare Alley (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Dec 2021

Review of The Unforgivable (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Nov 2021

Review of The Beta Test (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Nov 2021

Review of Freeland (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Oct 2021

At their best, writer-director Mario Furloni and Kate McLean evince a masterful grasp of storytelling that’s subtle and rich in innuendo…

Review of Parallel Mothers (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Oct 2021

The film is a ghost story as well as a story of transference, which Pedro Almodóvar understands to be one in the same…

Review of Cry Macho (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Sep 2021

The film achieves the nourishing simplicity of a fable, and its devotion to the quotidian elements of mythical small-town western life is nearly…

Review of Procession (2021)

Robert Greene’s gaze is an attempt to accord his subjects the dignity of attention, utilizing cinema as a form of emotional due process…

Review of France (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Sep 2021

Review of Demonic (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Aug 2021

Review of In the Same Breath (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Aug 2021

Review of Pig (2021)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Jul 2021

Review of No Sudden Move (2021)
