We don't deserve Greta Gerwig. Her movies are so full of life that you leave excited for whatever comes next in your own. The same goes for Little Women.
Every year people complain to me about the quality of movies hitting theaters, and every year I tell them they're watching the wrong stuff. Sure, there've been some fun blockbusters this year, as Us, Joker and Avengers: Endgame were all a blast, and all made enough money to turn a third world country into a first world country. But they weren't what I would consider the "best" films of the year.
All that glitters IS gold in Hustlers. A dramedy about strippers that strips back its characters layer by fragile layer, you'll be surprised just how moving - and how good - this actually is.
Apocalypse Now: Final Cut is a graphic yet gorgeous masterpiece about the Vietnam War. It's also perhaps the best movie ever made about the horrors of war.
The Kitchen is a female empowerment movie disguised as a mob movie. With a message as dumb as "women can kill people too," this will make you want to leave the gun, leave the cannoli and leave the theater.
Hereditary director Ari Aster is back with Midsomnar, and boy does it look creepy with this first trailer for the film, which might just give you nightmares.
