One of Them Days Review
We all have had ‘one of them days.’ For some people, those days can be worse than for others. Two friends and roommates experience a particularly bad day in a Los Angeles-set buddy comedy. Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) have been friends and roommates for seven years. Dreux is about to have the job interview […]
Cleaner Review
Cleaner feels like a relic from a bygone era. The many comparisons it’s received to Die Hard are debatable, although the marketing is certainly inviting them. To be fair, their cores are the same: an action-thriller in the style of an airport novel about an unassuming person thrust into a dangerous situation whose skills and […]

Armand Review
With her astounding performance in 2021’s The Worst Person in the World, the cinema world fell in love with Renate Reinsve. Her ability to capture the duality of early adulthood was uncanny, infusing the chaos of self-discovery with the vulnerability of knowing you’re a mess. That kind of virtuosity had cinephiles eager for her next […]
