Run Time: 1 hr 37 min | Genre: Road Comedy-Drama | Director: Rob BurnettĬast: Paul Rudd, Craig Roberts, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Ehle ![]() Director Bong Joon-Ho, also known for his films Snowpiercer and Parasite, once again creates a story that delights in its defiance of expectations, with an ending that’s as bitter as it is sweet. Yet, this film is also filled with a wonderful balance of action, intrigue, and drama. The film challenges modern views on the larger meat industry and large corporations, and does not shy away from the disturbing realities of both that many shy away from. The film follows the journey of a young girl, Mija ( Ahn Seo-hyun), as she attempts to save Okja, the genetically modified pig that she has raised since piglet-hood, who has been taken to the United States to be processed for food.

An anthology collection of six stories centering on death and finality, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a darkly amusing combination of everything the Coens do best. If The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is their last collaboration together, it's an appropriate conclusion to one of the most fruitful partnerships in cinema history. Ethan is currently working on the stage in New York, and Joel directed A24’s The Tragedy of Macbeth without his brother. There’s a very distinct possibility that The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is the last film that Joel and Ethan Coen will ever work on together. Run Time: 2 hr 12 min | Genre: Western Drama | Director: Joel and Ethan CoenĬast: Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco, Liam Neeson, Zoe Kazan, Brendan Gleeson, Tom Waits, Henry Melling ![]() Lisa is unsettling in a way that goes against type for Gyllenhaal, rivaling her brother’s performances in films like Velvet Buzzsaw, forcing audiences to question how much trust we put in others, and what the idea of fame is capable of doing to us. Using the boy’s talent to her advantage, she adopts his poetry as her own to impress her writing tutor ( Gael García Bernal), but soon escalates her behavior, isolating the boy from his own family and friends and attempting to use his talent for her own personal gain. Her life takes a turn for the chaotic when one of her students, Jimmy ( Parker Sevak), displays a remarkable talent for poetry - something she seems to lack. ![]() Asking the question of what we’re willing to do for a little notoriety, The Kindergarten Teacher follows Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Lisa, a struggling elementary school teacher who wants nothing more than to escape her dull, difficult life by way of her poetry. Remakes of international films for an American market are not uncommon, but it’s very rare that the newer projects accomplish just what their predecessors were gunning for, and Sara Colangelo’s directorial debut is one of them.
