After the Wedding is a throwback of sorts – a return to the days when a common reason for creating a remake was to take a foreign language film and translate it into English. For this project, writer/director Bart Freundlich has turned to Su...

An indie film with a lot to say, Brigsby Bear can be accused of a lot of things, but lack of ambition isn’t among them. For his feature debut, Good Neighbor comedy troupe founder and SNL segment director Dave McCary has swung for the fences a...

If I was to review Giuseppe Capotondi’s The Burnt Orange Heresy based exclusively on the film’s first half, I would have nothing to offer but raves. Unfortunately, the film’s final 30 minutes prove unable to deliver on the promise of the...
