Review of Elizabeth Harvest (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The limpid shocks and needless structural convolutions might be unmemorable, but the striking visuals and juxtapositions linger…

Review of Marrowbone (2017)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

While some of its aesthetic and narrative components are vivid, Marrowbone as a whole feels simultaneously overstuffed and derivative…

Review of Red Sparrow (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

An exceedingly novel slice of pop entertainment: a sordid spy story for those who relish the genre's escapist titillation, but find martial…

Review of Inside (2016)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

This remake's bloody excesses can't conceal the fact that the film trades the 2007 original's aura of frantic peril for mere chintzy tedium…

Review of What Keeps You Alive (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

A dark, gut-wrenching pleasure, anchored by Anderson's utterly chilling performance…

Review of Summer of 84 (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The directors exploited a similar retro vibe in the giddy, gonzo Turbo Kid, but here it feels somewhat superfluous, tacked onto a standard…

Review of Isle of Dogs (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The film's sense of real and lethal peril - its diorama-like unreality notwithstanding - is eminently fitting for a story that is so keenly…

Review of The Cleanse (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Ultimately lifeless and uninvolving, distinguished only by its faintly gnarly premise and its ugly-cute creature designs…

Review of They Remain (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

They Remain has atmosphere in spades; unfortunately, there's remarkably little plot to go along with all the mood…

Review of A Quiet Place (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

It may not be bracingly original, but Krasinski's film executes its simple (one might say atavistic) formula with a wonderful intensity and focus…

Review of Boarding School (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Boarding School often feels as if it's trying to cram too many concepts into a narrative container that is too conventional and constrictive…

Review of The Lodgers (2017)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The redolent threatens to become monotonous as characters shuffle around in circles and O'Malley takes his sweet time portentously spelling…

Review of Mon Mon Mon Monsters (2017)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Aficionados of Asian horror at its most comically excessive will enjoy it as a gonzo pleasure, but it's too clumsy and unpleasant to be any…

Review of Family Blood (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Vampire films are almost always chock-a-block with tropes, but this one doesn't have even a drop of originality…

Review of Wildling (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The actors do their best, but Wildling is a bland muddle: fatally uncertain as to what tone it wants to convey, and prone to haphazardly picking…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

While At Eternity's Gate adheres to the traditional view of van Gogh as an ahead-of-his-time visionary, the film also lends that narrative…

Review of Sequence Break (2017)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The performances are clunky as heck, and a late-game story swerve feels like a failed, Hail Mary attempt to save the film from its own shapeless,…

Review of Sorry to Bother You (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

A magnificently whack, utterly unclassifiable shot across the bow of both indie cinema and the crapsack world that is America in 2018…

Review of Downrange (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

The characters are indistinct and the performances lousy, but such deficiencies are less vexing when the blood, brains, and bullets are flying…

Review of Devil's Gate (2018)

By Andrew Wyatt (80) for The Lens (79) on 07 Dec 2018

Devil's Gate plays something like a kludgy, aimless episode of The X-Files, one with too many half-baked ideas and the running time to indulge…
