Review of Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021)

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

Review of News of the World (2020)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Dec 2020

The film sanctimoniously suggests that ignorance or distrust of the news is nothing new, but rather the bedrock of America’s formation…

Review of Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Dec 2020

Jamie Dornan is a stiff whom Jon Hamm immediately upstages, and this dynamic underscores why the film is so tedious and unsatisfying…
