Review of Nightbreed (1990)

By Johanna Steinmetz (72) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Feb 1994

Review of Sea of Love (1989)

By Johanna Steinmetz (72) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 14 Mar 1991

With a wealth of talent at his disposal, director Becker spends too much of the film's flashier currencies-criminality and sex-and draws too…
