"I realized in retrospect that I was writing about parenting adult children, that I was writing about preparing myself for my daughter to grow up, go to school, and go off in the world" My interview with writer/director Angus MacLachlan for #ALittlePrayer www.flickeringmyth.com/exclusive-in...

In the time I shared all my writing for the week, the Chicago White Sox couldn't get a single out. They are now losing 9-0

This film is often so caught up in its ridiculousness that it could crumble apart at any moment, just like the friendship at the center of this loose narrative. It doesn’t. Friendship only becomes increasingly hilarious and unhinged the longer it goes on www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

Also tickets are still available to see this closing night of the @chicagocritics.bsky.social so head over to the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social Angus MacLachlan and Jane Levy will be there! So should you!

In an age when parents insist that their offspring, children, or adults can never do wrong, #ALittlePrayer is essential. It’s filled with rich performances, complex characters, optimism, heartwarming revelations, and wisdom www.flickeringmyth.com/chicago-crit...

It’s no exaggeration to say that this film is an affront to everything William Shakespeare accomplished with Romeo & Juliet and its timeless endurance #Juliet&Romeo www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

With #FightorFlight, first-time writer/director James Madigan loads a tantalizing premise with just enough well-staged, over-the-top violence to thrill and offset some narrative and expository clunkiness www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

By the time #ClowninaCornfield is over, the tonal shifts are so jarring and unsuccessful that it probably feels like being lost in a cornfield www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

It’s a chilling work from a filmmaker with his finger on the pulse of the digital age and celebrity worship #Lurker www.flickeringmyth.com/chicago-crit...

Between a festival, screenings, interviews, writing reviews, transcribing interviews, and of course commuting everywhere, I forgot to mention on here that #BringHerBack is as fucked up as you have heard. Philippous have evolved as filmmakers: this is deranged but also emotionally devastating

I'm happy many of you have enjoyed #SorryBaby at the festival tonight. I've seen it twice now and can tell you it's the type of movie that gets richer with each rewatch. I also got to interview Eva Victor for about 25 minutes today, and can't wait to share that illuminating conversation

#Friendship I can't remember the last time I laughed that consistently hard. Also has incredible usage of #Slipknot

A hilarious and sweet May/December story, a personal treatise on mental health and fulfillment, and a thoughtful approach to alcoholism while observing what make us happy is sometimes adjacent to self-destructive vices, #TheBaltimorons is far from moronic www.flickeringmyth.com/chicago-crit...

Oh look, Final Destination and Mission Impossible being screened at the same time because studios hate Chicago. The blame is with Warner Bros. for not showing us the former this week when they showed it to LA and New York

There needs to be a support group for fantasy managers who have Wilmer Flores. 8 strikeouts this week for -8 points. Two more days until Seager is back from injury and I can finally drop him.

My thoughts are with everyone at Polygon today. Even though I only wrote one review over there, it was more than enough to see @tasharobinson.bsky.social is one of the best editors in the industry. Everyone there deserves better

Not reviewing #AnotherSimpleFavor for multiple reasons, but I will say it's terrible. One of those lazy sequels that tries to remix the original with seemingly no understanding of what worked before. Even though the first one was campy and ridiculous, I also don't remember it being stupid like this

Those of us who thought, “If I freelance long enough, pay my dues & do great work, one day it will get me a real full-time job” always watch any layoffs in absolute terror, in addition to heartbreak for colleagues who lost their jobs. Our future in the f/t game is clear: we don’t have one.

#Rust is undeniably trying to do too much, but it also has an old-fashioned Western charm with some truly exceptional photography from the late Halyna Hutchins. Couldn't stop thinking about her throughout this (and that's a long time with this bloated 140-minute running time)

A pastiche of boxing, crime, and family clichés, one watches #Salvable bored, unable to stop thinking about one thing: they actually made a movie about a troubled man named Sal and called it SALvable www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

Veering into grim humor, #Vulcanizadora is a subtle, quiet scream about the importance of seeking therapy, especially within somewhat emotionally closed-off men www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

It’s dumbfounding whatever Electra is trying to do with its tone. It only gets worse when one acknowledges the preposterous plotting www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

I don't mean this with disrespect, but I had no idea some of you were this rabid for more Final Destination. It typically seems like people around my age too, which surprises me more because I like the kills but thought the movies were mostly crappy and forgettable

Trauma-heavy #Thunderbolts* is solid and moving, elevated by a psychological, visually inventive, unapologetically dark, and simultaneously exhilaratingly action-packed finale that defies standard superhero film conventions www.flickeringmyth.com/movie-review...

#Thunderbolts is solid; a team-up movie of antiheroes that uses this as an entry point to explore trauma and mental health, while stressing the importance of connection. Last 40 minutes are visually inventive, dark, and exhilarating. Plus it has organic storytelling and doesn't feel cobbled together
