‘The Painted Bird’ Review: Black And White Tale Is Unrelenting To Its Core
Based on Jerzy Kosinski’s novel, The Painted Bird is nearly three hours of brutal and unforgiving events experienced by a young boy (Peter Kotlár) who is struggling his best to survive in the closing days of World War II. Shot on 35mm, this black and white epic is a visual feast for the eyes, but some viewers will be turned off by its unrelenting violence and degradation.
Trailer: Cosmo Jarvis And Barry Keoghan Are Enveloped In ‘The Shadow of Violence’
Any movie that stars Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) has my attention, so The Shadow of Violence is a ruthless looking feature that I’m putting on my radar. Check out the post for the trailer, images, and poster!

‘The Duke of Burgundy’ Review: A Subtle And Surprising Love Story
The Duke of Burgundy is the third feature by director, Peter Strickland. Unlike the lurid, popcorn melodrama of 50 Shades of Grey, The Duke of Burgundy takes a complex and subtle view of the power dynamics of a dominant/submissive love story.
KiKi Layne And Charlize Theron Deliver First Rate Work In ‘The Old Guard’
Although its moniker feels ancient, The Old Guard brings a ton of fresh perspectives into the action thriller genre. Gina Prince-Blythewood, a director who has received acclaim for Love & Basketball and Beyond the Lights, was an inspired choice to helm the feature, and I never envisioned If Beale Street Could Talk’s KiKi Layne anchoring this movie. We are conditioned to see such films directed by a male filmmaker with a bankable male action veteran with maybe a younger, charismatic male actor as the vet’s sidekick; so it’s refreshing to see whenever a film goes an entirely different direction. Basically, there are very few things that are “old” about this movie.
